I like using 400s with my 35# recurve. Higher spines didn’t fly as well for me.

If I remember correctly, I shot 600s in my 30 and 35lb bows....but not all that sure on that.....

 

Draw length?

 

29 and 1/2" with compound but probably 29 with the recurve....my anchor is different now....

 

I'm shooting 1716 Platinum Plus, full length, with bullet points (65 grains?). My Bow draw weight is just over 30 pounds on the fingers. Bow is set up with a wire rest and plunger button. Shot 1816 too, but the 1716 seem to fly and group a little better. This is strictly a target setup, so if you're looking for a hunting arrow, I would go a little stiffer with more weight in the tip.

 

I don’t hunt any more.....strictly targets now....

 

You'll probably need .800's but not enough info to say for sure. Draw length and center cut of the bow will make a big difference.


Oh and btw, to the fellow shooting .400's out of a 35# bow.... your arrows are waaaaaay too stiff.

 

agree with mr casto.

.800s would work for you dave.

.700s could work too if you keep loading on point weight till they tune.

 

I run 600s on my 35lb with 225grn up front. With my ILF and 30# limbs I use full length 700s with 150 grain heads.

 

I draw 32", and shoot a 32.5" 400 spine with 200 grains up front, in my 30# Samick Discovery.

I could probably get by just fine with a 500 spine and around 150gr up front, but the choices for a 500 spine with a 32" shaft are kind of thin.

 

MontanaMarine,
I like your Youtube videos of your chrono tests. I see you like the Goldtip Warriors also. That is all I buy now.

 

I shoot a 32 pound recurve. Have a new WF21 riser with 35 pound limbs, bolts out 3 turns. I draw around 28 and 700 spine Goldtip Warriors bareshaft perfectly with 125 tips.

At your DL, Brian is correct, 1716s @ 880.
Not sure where he got that idea from though. ( Hi Brian)

Dave, didn't we go over this a few years back???

We did but it was more than a few yrs...Now I'm old and delapodated.....but the desire to release an arrow burns in my bod.....

 

I'm only a newb but I have been shooting 600's on 30" carbon to carbon arrows and 30# recurve. But I think they might be too strong. I'm probably going to try 700's next time.

 

Like Brian and Viper, I like the Platinum Plus shafts. Inexpensive and straight. I shoot at 30# on the fingers with a 28.5" draw. I use 1913s at full length, but I could just as well go 1716 a bit shorter.

 

Dave -

24# limbs call for a 1616 @ about a 1000 spine.
If you want arrows for both the 24# and 30# limbs, stay with the 1716s.

The years go by fast when you're having fun, don't they?

John Champion is making my some arrows today (700s) for the ILF rig....He told me today he would order me some shafts for the 24lb bow.....I have a 29 and half DL so that will add 2lbs on the 24, so 26 might allow for a stronger spine, would it not?

 

Dave -

Ah, no.

Depending on the type of limb and bolt position, a 24# bow gains about 1.2# and a 30# bow gains about 1.5# / inch.
Yes, the initial weight will be higher is you crank the bolts full in.

A 29" 700 with std weight head spines to about 35-40# +/-.

For what you're doing, they are probably fine, but why not just get the right arrow in the first place.

I did get 6 for the 30lb bow which I think will work....they are 600s with 125 up front.....I’ve got the 900s for the 24lb limbs to try out.....

 

Enjoy your bow. If you have gold tip inserts you can add wts to the tip if you need them. But bet the arrows will fly fine, some people likem a bit stiff anyway. I've shot 500s with 145grs on a 34# bot and they worked fine- I did have a plunger tho.

 

First thing to do is make sure your Black Hunter is what it’s marked. I own 3 and none are actually what they are marked at. My 30# BH is 33#@ 28” so around 31@ my 27” DL.
My first 35# BH was 34#@28” so around 32/33# @ 27”. And my newest BH was a 35# that comes in @ 38# @28”...36.5# @ my 27”DL. All of these bows shoot a 700 spine arrow 30” long 25 gr. outserts w/ 85-100gr. TopHat field points like darts. This is what I am shooting in 3D.
