beginer needs help with arrows

(1/2) > >>

recurve shooter:
i have recently started shooting. i have a recurve and a slightly stronger longbow, but the thick louisiana terrain i hunt prevents me from useing my longbow. i need to know what wieght and spine of arrows i should shoot. i lack the suplies to make my own or i would, and im only 15 so i dont have a bunch of money to spend. but i prefer carbon arrows. my bow is a pierson recurve, 35# at 28 inches, but my draw length is 32 inches. so, i need help choseing arrows. and i use a low poundage bow for a reason, if i miss, the arrows dont go as far and are easyer to find, and the arrows, when i hit something, stay lodged in the game as they bolt, cutting deeper as they run. but back to the main topic, HELP PLEASE!! I LOST- ???

Justin Snyder:
I think you should have someone measure your draw length. If you are shooting a 32" draw you are either 6'8" or drawing way past where the rest of us draw to. Do you anchor your draw? If you do draw 32" you want a spine around 55#. Considering that a Pearson bow is almost center shot you could get away with the spine being off a bit. I would figure out what you need for the longbow and use them in both if I was pressed for money. OH WAIT, I am pressed for money, that is why I shoot sticks I gather up in the yard.  ;) Justin

recurve shooter:
lol. i am actualy 6ft4, so i do have an unusually long draw.

recurve shooter:
i just measured it, its 31 inches ;D my draw length that is.

Justin Snyder:
That is a little better, but still long. Where do you anchor and are you measuring to the back of the bow?  I'm 6'3" so I can relate a little.  ;) Justin
