First flight arrow.

<< < (5/5)

Badger:
I have a feeling that your 30# arrow will do best from your 50# bow. Ivar Malde has been very generous with his data on flight arrows. He is most likely the worlds top authority on wood arrows and he is suggesting 1" deflection for a 50# bow and to ignore spine calculations.  An arrow with 1" deflection is what currently holds the world flight record for 50#.

Interesting badger!   This just gives me an excuse to make more or just do some more removal on these.  It will be interesting to see how it goes.  Was that a deflection of 1” pegged at 22”?

Badger:
 Yes, 1" deflection at 22" centers. Think about it, you don't need much spine at all, you are not accelerating any real weight. If I ever went back to flight shooting I would spend 10% of my time on bows and 90% on arrows and tuning.

Ok thanks.  I may make another set of lighter ones yet still. I can always reduce these ones down I guess or just keep them for the 70lb class.
