completely confused
 

ok i just bought a new bear encounter, and i want to get some new arrows for it. However im totally confused as to which size i actually need. my draw length is 29" weight is 65lb.

thanks for your help

I have the exact same bow, same weight, and same draw length and I'm shooting Gold Tip XT Hunters 7595 with 100 grain Rage Broad heads. Combo works good for me.

Here is Gold Tips arrow chart: http://www.goldtip.com/arrowcontent.aspx?page=chart

Thanks man ill check those out. what's the weight as in grains your using?

Check out a cabela's catalog and they usually have a chart in there that will tell you what size you should be shooting.

I shot Beaman ICS Hunter 500's for years because that's what my local archery shop said was right. Then i was looking in the Cabela's catalog and saw that I should of been shooting the 400's all along. Check the chart out. You won't be sorry because you'll know if your getting the correct ones.

Well the arrows are 295.8 gr per 29" and my arrows are 30", so the arrow is around 310 gr plus the 100 gr broad head = 410gr. Does that sound right? lol

65 lbs X 5 = 325 (Minium weight) so I guess 410 gr is about right.

Just look at the chart on the box of arrows. Can't make it much simpler than that.

Awesome guys thanks. The whole arrow length vs weight got me screwed up I got.it. now.

I think you got the answer on 1 st reply or else you can adjust bit up front and try.

With that set up the Gold Tip 7595 should work great. I shoot the same ones out of my Mathews Chill @ 63# and 28 1/2" draw.

Trader 74, I sent you a PM.

This is what you should go for, i have been there.

Arrows are also rated for the amount of poundage You have Your Bow set at....be sure to get Arrows that are Rated correctly.Some are listed 50/60, 60/70 ...believe its called "Spline"?

You are close! It's called the "spine" of the arrow, which is another word for stiffness.

Ya bored there Clem? I'd hope he solved his issue within the almost 4 years since he posed the question :D

Same with a member sending a PM to Trader74 on this thread that hasn't logged back on this site since 3/13, LOL!

OK, Ill take that one. I was both bored and half asleep when I posted the PM. The Folgers wasn't up on its game yet!!! :hit:
