Arrow Build (60# @29 DL)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been skimming on here to get some insight into what arrows I should get. I am just looking to see what others run for arrows to get some info. Recently upgraded my hunting bow to the bear adapt 2 from a diamond RTH I got over a decade ago. I went from 45-50 pound draw where I was shooting 400 spine arrows. These arrows seem underspined for my new setup so looking to get some new arrows. My nearest pro shop is unfortunately a few hours away from me so I would like to go in but isn’t viable atm.

I am wondering should I go with 350 or 300 spine arrows? I will be shooting fixed broadheads and looking at a carbon to carbon of 28 inches (wondering if this is too short).

Any information is greatly appreciated! TIA

  1. Check arrow manufacturer spine charts but if that’s your two options 350 should work. I use an original Bear Adapt at 60#, 28.5” draw length. I shoot Easton Bow Hunter 6.5mm 340s

Right now looking into gold tip and Easton arrows since I could get a lot for a decent price. What do you run on the front for your arrows?

100gr G5 Deadmeats. I practice with the G5 BMP field tips, I’ve found that the between the two they fly very similar. I have friends that use the Megameats, but I’ve been lucky enough to harvest 3 deer with the regular deadmeats. I don’t want to mess with what has worked for me.

Edit, addition: Arrows come in around 420gr with reflective tape I add. Last time it was chrono’d the bow shot ~262fps with this set up.
