Wooden arrows
After many years of shooting compound bows Iam beginning to get back to traditional bow hunting, for you guys that are traditional i have one question.
What type of wooden arrow you recommend for a 50# recurve bow, bow is very fast shooter, what spine do you recommend and broadhead ?
Thanks

RE: Wooden arrows
I like a bit stiffer spine in my bows ........ but every bow is different too. The way the shelf is radiused or lack of, cut center of slightly off, shelf material ....... I think it all factors in as well as your own shooting style/release
I buy 100 shafts at a time through a company in Oregon - best shafts I've ever seen. I bought them in 3# increments, and then i cut and shoot them and see which flies the best. I don't think there is a quick, one stop answer to which spine/wood flies the best out of a given bow, you know ?
But I do love wood shafts ........... carbons probably are mor consistant and certainly more durable but theres a love affair with wood thats undeniable

RE: Wooden arrows
What is your draw length, arrow length you want, is shelf cut to center, past center?. if you draw 28" and use a 29" BOP then I would choose as a starter 60-65 or 65-70 spine. Give us the details and I be someone can help.
