Need non-primitive arrow help, please.
« on: July 13, 2011, 10:04:13 pm »
Most of my bows are between 45# to 50# at a draw of 25". I usually cut in a shelf that is from 1/4" to 3/8" off center and I shoot 125 grain heads.Shafts are 26.5".  Plan to buy a dozen GoldTip carbon arrows. What spine would you  reccomend if total arrow weight is around 450 grains ? I am leaning toward 35-55 but willing to learn.
Thanks.

Yeah I'm hip to the spine kit but I guess I was hoping to get close. I have tuned a couple of bows for 75-95 for the weight but that ain't cutting it with deer season a month away. Thanks for your help, 55-75 was my first choice actually.

I shoot 5575 GT in that same weight of glass bow but I also draw 30" and my arrows are 31.5" long.  I would say 3555 Gts for you.
Happy hunting to all!
