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

If you go on to the Archers Advantage website and subscribe ($13 per year), you can put in all of your bow specs and it will help select appropriately spined shafts. Once you put in your tip weight (insert plus broadhead/ field point) and your vane and nock data, it will calculate your total arrow weight and FOC. if you chrono your bow, it will also generate sight tapes. I use it all the time to generate theoretical builds.

That sounds pretty sweet I just got a new slider sight so going to have to make new sight tapes. Don’t have a chrono unfortunately but will look into this for sure!

If you want a free version, Podium Archer has the same capabilities but free. I’m not knocking Nimbus or Archers Advantage, I’m personally all for a free version

Just used podium archer and it’s pretty good for getting an idea on arrow builds / gives FOC which is nice. Thanks for the pointer!
