Beman ICS hunters 340's

I am shooting A 06 tribute smooth mods and a QAD ultra ld. I was wondering if these arrows would be a good fit. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I guess it depends on your draw length and poundage.

70# and 29.5

Well, with that arrow, your on the edge with spine. If you get a 30" arrow, your might be too weak. But with a 29" arrow, you would be ok. I imagine with a 29.5" draw, you want arrows at least 30". You might have to back down on poundage about 4lbs. Only bareshaft or broad head tuning can tell you for sure. I shoot 340's at 29" arrow length, and had to lower my poundage down to 66lbs for broadhead tuning.

I'm guessing your arrows @ 28 1/2", and yes, you will be fine. But you are close....300's would probably work a bit better, depending on arrow length.

I'd say you were talking about a 400 spine. Mine is the exact oppisite. The 340's I shoot are too stiff at about the same set up. Last I looked that spec was on the cusp of the 400-340, not the extreme end of the 340.

I'd go with the elites in that shaft. I like them better.

No nodog, I shoot a 340 at 29" out of my liberty at 67lbs. And its on the edge. If his draw is 29.5, then he would want to shoot a 30" arrow. Maybe 30.5". And 340 is too weak.

Interesting. I have shot the 340s with my 31 inch draw (30.25 inch arrow) and 65-70 pound draw weight range off and on for several years. I do not have the chart handy but I was under the impression that I was right in the middle of the 340 suggested range. It has tuned well enough for me over the years. Now you have me wanting to go back and check.

Nobody needs to know what he's using for tip weight?[&:]

RE: Beman ICS hunters 340's

It does not really matter becuase i use different tip weights on these and they shot just as good with different weights.

Holy Cow, I am 6'3", with arms like wings, and shoot a 29" draw. 31" draw, your arms must be draggin the ground or one big guy.

If you download the Easton shaft selector, run your numbers. They even call for a .300 spine. But as long as you have broadhead tuned, bareshafted etc. then you can't argue with that. I know I was shooting 64lbs. with my liberty and 340 black max 29" arrow. It paper tuned fine. Bare shaft fine, but I insist on broadhead tuning. And I had to raise my poundage to 66-67lbs to get broadheads shooting where my field tips are. Possibly detuned some.

BC,

I do believe I ama life memberof Arthur's Ape-armed Knuckledraggers club. :)Though height can serve as somewhat of an indicator of draw length I have found that to be the case only in a general sense. The rest of the equation...hand size, shoulder width, etc.. all tend to throw things off a bit so it isn't really the most reliable indicator for draw length.

I am going to have to revisit my setup for this year to see which shafts and sizes I am going to go with it. I have been using the same accessories, or close to it, for several years now and I feel the need to look around and re-evaluate my setup. Maybe something stiffer will be called for.

I stand corrected--i guess tip weight DOESN'T matter or apply to arrow spine?:(:D:D

Your on it as far as bemans concerned. Depends on where you are in that 65-70 range. You could be on the weak side. I know mine are stiff because of how they tune. Always left no matter how far I bring the rest in. My arrows are a little shorter at 28 11/16".
