The different spines refer to the stiffness, a 400 spine arrow is generally for bows 40-60 lbs. 350 spine is for bows roughly 55 – 75 lbs, and a 500 spine arrow is for bows roughly 30 – 50 lbs. That number is the stiffness of the arrow, referred to as the arrow spine.
What length arrows for 28.5 draw?
If you’re a 28-inch draw length and want an arrow that ends at the front of the riser, your arrow length would be around 27 inches. However, your arrow length can be longer if you need to weaken the spine of your arrow. For safety reasons, your arrows shouldn’t be cut too short.
How long should arrows be for 27 inch draw?
The arrow must be 29″ in length and supported by two points, which are 28″ apart. The number of inches the arrow deflects or bends due to the weight, is the spine size or measurement of an arrow. DYNAMIC spine describes the way an arrow reacts from the stored energy of a bow as it is shot.
Can arrows be too long?
The longer the arrow, the weaker the spine. So to answer your question, yes an arrow can sometimes be too long. The spine cannot be weaken by the arrow being too long – the spine is based on the deflection of a 1.98 weight hung from the middle when suspended 28″ between two points.
How long should arrows be for 29 Draw?
Registered. 29.5″ draw length with 27″ arrows and the rear of the broadhead is 1″ past my rest. I think it may depend on the bow too though. I know with my first bow I cut the arrows at 28″.
What size bow do I need?
If you’re shooting more than a 29″ draw, a 70″ bow is recommended. If you shoot more than a 27″ draw, it’s a 68″ bow. If you shoot more than a 25″ draw, it’s a 66″ bow. If you shoot less than a 25″ bow, you should consider a 64″ bow (short limbs and a 23″ riser).

How do you know what size bow to get for archery?
First, spread your arms outward from your side to form a “T” with your palms facing forward. Next, have a friend measure your wingspan from the tips of your middle fingers. Divide this number by 2.5 and you should be relatively close to your actual draw length.
What spine of arrow do I need?
That’s why Gold Tip recommends a 400 spine for a 27-inch arrow with a 100-grain point shot from a 60-pound bow, but also recommends a 340-spine arrow if its length and draw weight stay the same, but its point weighs 150 grains. Archers selecting arrows should stick to the manufacturer’s spine recommendations.
What is a 340 spine arrow?
Aluminum and carbon-fiber combination arrows are measured by spine deflection. A smaller number means that the arrow has a stiffer spine. For example, 3-60/340 means three wraps of carbon-fiber with an aluminum core tube diameter of 60 and a spine stiffness rating of 340.
How long is an arrow?
Arrow sizes vary greatly across cultures, ranging from eighteen inches to six feet (45 cm to 150 cm). However, most modern arrows are 75 cm (30 in) to 96 cm (38 in) in length.
