I was thinking about buying some new arrows and I wanted to get a little input. I want wood arrows. I have never bought completed wood arrows. I have either made them or inherited them.
I want an arrow that can be used for target practice, but also is long enough to put a broadhead on it. I want these arrows for my long bow. My longbow is 55# at 28". My comfortable draw length is 28", but if I try, I can get a 29" draw. It is most comfortable at 28".
What length should I get? Should I get them long so that I can shorten it while tuning the arrows to the bow?
What poundage range should I get 50/55 or 55/60?
I was thinking 55/60 and cutting them long so I can have something to work with, but I saw somewhere that 60/65 was recommended for my setup.
Is there a diameter preference, or is that standard based on the spine of the arrow?
The broadhead I have used forever on my trad is the zwickey eskimo in 125 gr.
Where should I look for arrows? I thought about buying a test pack from 3Rivers, I thought about buying from one of you guys, and I thought about going to Smithfield because I have heard they let you try them out before you buy them.
I have one that someone gave me in the past year that shoots so good, but I don't know where it came from. I would love to have a dozen of those.
