recurve shooter:
i still cant make em.  :'( but the difference between aluminum (which i used to shoot) and good wooden arrows is amazeing. if nothing else order some wooden arrows from 3 rivers.

huntertrapper:
trial and error. this great site and shooting the ones ive made. my biggest lesson was keeping the same wing on the arrow not left and right, learned that the hard way  :-X

cooksomerice:
Thanks all.  I currently shoot aluminums.  They are 30 inch 2018's with 175 grain tips.  If I were going to order woodies, I would not even know which ones to get.  Any suggestions based on the arrow that I currently shoot?

1/2primitive:
It would depend on the weight and draw length of your bow.
When finding the right arrows, it's important to test shoot differing spine weights to settle on a certain one that flies well from your bow.

A good, cheap way to learn is to get some poplar dowels from your local hardware store and experiment with those.

scattershot:
2018s spine at 65#. I would think 60-65# woodies cut to the same length with 160 grain points would be awful close.

Good luck!
