What size arrow do I need for a 28 inch 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.
Can you shoot a bow with a shorter draw length?
An archer can shoot good groups using too short of a draw length but will perform with tighter, more consistent groups with the correct one. Successful results are very difficult and unlikely when the draw length is too long. Some bows are very user-friendly in terms of altering the draw length.
How long should an arrow be for a 29 draw?
How to: Select the perfect arrow Bow Arrow length Draw weight lb. 25″ 29″ 15-20 700 600 20-25 700 600 25-30 700 500.
What if my bow draw length is too long?
Many bowhunters shoot a draw length that is too long for them, which hurts shooting form and degrades accuracy. You hear this all the time–that a long draw overextends your bow arm and makes it harder to hold against the back wall and to maintain a consistent anchor point.
What size arrows bow?
You simple take your draw length and add 0.5″ up to a maximum 1″ to determine appropriate arrow length. So if your draw length is 28″, you should get arrows with a maximum length of 29″. What this will do is give you an arrow that will be just long enough to clear the front-most part of the arrow shelf.
What does 350 arrow mean?
The numbers refer to the spine of the arrow. 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.
Is a longer draw length better?
Since the time always stays the same, we can conclude that the higher the distance (draw length), the greater the speed needed that means longer draw length leads to greater arrow speed and faster arrow.
What’s the average draw length?
If you have an average draw length of 27 to 29 inches, any modern compound bow matched with a good arrow and set to 60 pounds will work just fine on whitetails, mule deer, pronghorns, and the like with whatever broadhead style you prefer, so long as your shot placement is good.
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).
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 of an arrow do I need?
A good rule of thumb is to cut it no shorter than the middle of the riser. At full draw, your arrow end would sit right in the middle of the shelf. The best way to determine how long you want your arrows to be is to nock a full-length, uncut arrow and draw it back.
Does draw length matter?
WHY IT ALL MATTERS Having the right draw length and draw weight for your hunting profile is not just important for performance, but important for safety as well. Also, a longer draw length can force your front arm to a full extension, leaving your inner elbow in direct path of the string and potential injury.
How does draw length affect draw weight?
Yes, changing to a longer draw length on a bow increases the draw weight. Reduce the draw weight with the oimb bolts if you can. I have done this in the past by using a longer bow string. FOr each inch longer, it added 3 or 4 pounds of weight if I rememebr right.
How long should arrow 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 an arrow 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 do you measure bow length?
ANSWER: The easiest way to measure the length of your traditional bow is to start at the string groove, follow the curvature of the limb along the belly side of the bow, across the riser area, and follow the curvature of the other limb to the other string groove. This will give you the a.m.o. bow length.
How heavy of an arrow should I shoot?
Bentcik said few Americans use arrows weighing 700 grains or more unless they’re shooting traditional equipment. Archers who shoot a recurve or longbow normally use arrows weighing 700 grains or more.
What happens if arrow spine is too stiff?
If the arrow’s spine is too weak or too stiff, the arrow will not correct itself as soon as it should while in flight. If that arrow is weak and continues to flex (has a low spine rating), it’s going to veer off target. While an arrow will necessarily twist and turn in flight, what you don’t want it to do is wobble.
Are 340 or 400 arrows heavier?
A weaker arrows is “softer”. Generally 600 arrows are for bows from 15–35 pounds in draw weight, 500 for 35–55 pounds, 400 for 55–75 pounds, and 340 for 75–95 pounds.
