Buff,
Just signed up with Mick for this June and scrambling to get setup.
Will be taking my 64# @ 31" Recurve (throws a 915gr arrow @ 150 - which gives me good momentum values and not too much slower than what I'm shooting now). The arrow is a full length CX 350 (.324 deflection) w/ weight tubes and a 250 gr head.
am also working to get my hands on a mid 70's longbow (pronghorn 3piece knockoff-different bowyer). I can't reasonably shoot much above that, but get a little added performance from my longer draw.
I get good flight on the recurve setup, but need to totally redo the arrows to get more FOC. Weight is pretty good.
Question for you -
a) do you put an internal or external footing on your DG arrows?
b) have you used the grizzly stick elephant inserts + long weights - do these act like an internal footing?
C) what shafts are you using in your setups? And do you have any idea on how stiff I am going to have to go if I try to use those heavy inserts and weights - end up with about 750 gr up front assuming a 200gr broadhead
D) what broadheads do you use? I am looking at the abowyer, vpas, or ashbys
