Bang for my buck
I just purchased the 2008 marquis, and I need some new arrows. The bow hasn’t been set up for me, but I am pretty sure that I will be shooting 29” draw at 65-70 lbs. I use a mechanical release and most likely will be purchasing a drop away rest with a trophy ridge sight. What type of arrow should I look into and what grain should I shoot. I want to be able to blow through deer, but still be quick enough so they don’t jump the arrow (which has happened in the past).
any insight will be helpfull |
RE: Bang for my buck
I wouldsuggest you get the bow set up and when you have a draw weight and length, only then would I get my arrows. The reason I say this is because you seam unsure of what you will be pulling or shooting.

For a weight, 400-450gr's is a good place to be, a little heavier arrow than a lot of the "SpeedFreaks" shoot, distributes the energy back into the arrow rather than the bow, causing less problems with your bow overall. |

I would like to spend no more than $100 on the arrows, and thanks for the advice, and do you know what your speed is???

ORIGINAL: Grinnin4404 I would like to spend no more than $100 on the arrows, and thanks for the advice, and do you know what your speed is??? I have a Bear instinct with 29" draw and 74 lbs. I'm shooting CX terminators 6075's that I bought a few years ago at walmart but I never used them. When I got this bow I remembered them and got them cut down to the right length. I plan to upgrade to a better CX arrow after I have shot these a while. They weigh in around the 400-425 mark with everything on them. I expect them to have no problem with penetration. I worried a little about that untill I figured out KE for my bow. I should be in the 70s with it. I think you setup should be fine with something like that. But first get to a pro shop and get setup. Oh and congrats on the new bow!! |
