I hope this isn't going to be too long of a read. And I think I know the answer already (Go shoot a bunch of different kinds, and see), but I'd still like to through it out there for some input.
I've switched from wheel bow (which I shot for over 20 years), to a long bow which I love! I'm shooting 49lbs @28". My shooting has been indoors at various ranges, usually 7, 10, 15 & 20 yards. And a 3D course. I also shoot instinctive.
I started shooting Gold tip traditional arrows, (GPI 7.8) 600 spine, w/ 175 grain tips. I was shooting pretty well w/ them, then swathed to Warriors (GPI 5.7) w/ 175 grain tips, and shot better. Both arrows are full length, not cut. I used to shoot 28" arrows w/ my wheel bow, FYI.
All of that to ask is, How much of a factor does GPI play? My Warrior arrows seemed to shot flatter for me. So that got me wondering.
I'm looking at ordering more arrows, but not sure what route to take? How much of a factor would it be if I went to a 500 spine, and cut the length? Drop to 150 grain field point?
Thanks for your input!
