Light arrows
DC:
I'm looking to make some stiff, light arrows. Somewhere in the 350 grain,50-55# spine range. The only shafts I've found that come close are bamboo and then it's hit and miss, most are too heavy. Any ideas?
Badger:
Dc, the lighter arrows come out faster but loose speed quicker. I would go for a dense wood with no point smallish diameters. I would try between 175 grains up to about 270 grains and see which score the best. I think with the right arrow close to 400 yards is very possible.
DC:
Do you taper or barrel them to get some weight forward?
Badger:
I seem to do best with an arrow that tapers slightly from front to back with about 1/2" of the front rounded into a point.
avcase:
DC,
How long do these arrows need to be?
