Most of the gt arrows in 250 spine would fit the bill. But why not cut the arrows at 31" or shorter?

 

Black eagle carnivores cut at 29.5, 42 grain brass insert, 100 grain tip, vane tec 2" fletchings!! 14.5% foc. Around 465 grains total weight. I would recommend 125 grain heads but it will be slightly weak. It will still bareshaft but alittle weak.

It shows the beman .300 spine precision hunters are good to go for full length and 70 pounds.

This a particularly interesting topic because I shoot a 31" arrow with a 31" draw and lately I've been thinking I have to go longer to accommodate a broadhead without having it behind my bowhand.

 

I should note that I am looking for a hunting arrow not a target. the only GT hunting arrows in a 250 spine are mirco diameter arrows

This a particularly interesting topic because I shoot a 31" arrow with a 31" draw and lately I've been thinking I have to go longer to accommodate a broadhead without having it behind my bowhand.

This is my main reason for going with a 32in arrow.

I'm gonna have to run the carnivore arrows through ot2 and see what it says with the rest of my set up. I never heard of black eagle arrows but ive been out of the archery games for about 15 years.

 

I tend to be more concerned that an underspined arrow may break and go through my hand than the broadhead behind the hand. Lots of pictures of broken arrow through hands. My draw length is 29" and my arrow length is 27.5".

Arrows Through Hands.....http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1760768

 

I am a 29 inch draw guy and if i cut my shafts to 28 and then install a bushing and nock my arrow point is just inline with the front edge of the riser, Then as you screw in the point or broadead it is above the hand and not behind the hand.

Just come to full draw and have someone put a mark on the front of the riser with a sharpie on the arrow shaft and this will tell you where to cut the arrow and get my type of arrow length.

The gold tip 300 spine hunter xt arrows with 100 grain points would be a good choice if you cut them to the front edge of the riser and will probably come out to around a 29 inch shaft and then if you wanted to go up to a heavy point above 100 then you can go with the kenetics and get a much stiffer spine. The kenetics are not overly micro and are a very nice sized shaft, the new pierce shafts are more micro diameter.

 

I have a feeling that for hunting you should really consider getting the gold tip hunter xt's in the 300 spine, that arrow cut to the front of your riser at 29 inches of shaft and a 100 grain point would be a really good arrow for you. There is a huge difference in that arrow at 32 inches of shaft and 29 inches of shaft when it comes to spine, and by cutting it to the front edge of the riser you are going to really stiffen it up. It is going to come in for a total weight in the low 400 grain range so you will have some nice momentum and some good speed with your draw length.

 

He has 31" draw!!!! @ 70 a 300 spine is weak.

I looked at that amazon thing and the pic shows a 400 spine arrow and they don't even have 250 spine hunter xt on the gold tip website. I think the stiffest they go is 300.


I think that a full length shaft at 32 inches with extra weight out front would be a issue but by the time he cuts down the shaft to a more normal length and only uses a 100 grain point he is good to go.

If he really feels like he needs more spine then he can get the 200 spine kenetics and be good to go. Depending on the tuning ability of a person and the bow that they are using being picky about spine is more of a issue. The optimal spine group of people is getting smaller and smaller as we learn how to yoke tune and stuff, If he has a limited tuning ability then starting with a full length shaft and then trimming it down and checking the arrow flight is a old school method that changes the spine as you cut it and you can really help things along. With proper tuning methods that is not needed.

 

Found them in my gold tip email from them and there is a 250 spine offering in the hunter xt shaft, so that is a really good option for you especially if you are wanting to go out in front of the riser with the arrow length or a heavier point.

My email didn't show it in the pro hunters or some of the camo offerings but in the hunter xt it is totally there.

 

I used to shoot the .250 spine gt hunter xt a few years ago. Not sure if they still make em

Look at Black Eagle Zombie Slayers 300 Spine at 9.2gpi.

 

Flatwoodshunter - That link made me want to give up archery! How does an arrow make contact with the bow hand like that? Shafts that were previously splintered? I've crack a couple from shooting already, guess i better check the shafts/nocks after each shot huh?

 

Axis 260 spine.

What is your bow and IBO? The answer will vary if you are shooting a 315 fps IBO vs a 360 fps IBO.

 

Use a hamskea overdraw. Than you can shave another 2" off arrow length safely.

 

Black eagle rampage 250's tuned up great for me at 508 grains. I run 70/31.5 and I would have some issues broadhead tuning with 300 spine arrows and weight up front for foc. Reasonable price for .001 straightness as well.

 

This is a good choice

 

I'm 31"DL, but would only consider a full length arrow for a huge, fixed turkey head. My arrows are 29.25" c2c. They never draw past the shelf and I use a QAD HDX for full containment. 300 spine GT Hunters work great for me from 70# down to 60#. I also use a 50 grain insert to keep the foc around 13%. Total arrow weight is around 460 with a light nock and 100gn point. I've shot 1.25" fixed 4 blade heads with never an issue. Everyone has to feel comfortable with what they're shooting, so I wish you luck in your search.

You are just like my oldest............he is 6'6 #250 and shoots an uncut arrow. The choice is yours as far as manufacturer is concerned...........but I will tell you this........ do not be afraid of a heavy arrow (even though they seem like 2x4s at that size) for we have found that heavier arrows fly and group better especially at that length and poundage.

 

After getting the bow set up I decided 70lbs is too much for me right now and am currently at 63lbs. I went with the GT Hunter XT 300 with 100 grain points at 31in.

 

Good arrows. I shoot them out of my Darton 3800 and they perform quite well.

 

I have a 32 1/2" draw and I shoot 30" arrows in .300, .250, and even .200 spine. They all work just fine.
