Spining question

Not familiar with flat bows but if they are anything like long bows and if you are shooting off of a shelf. I would suggest arrows in the 30 to 35# range.
The 50# long bow I shoot likes arrows in the 40 to 45# range.

Thanks Cyrille, I was thinking 30/35 would I still use 125 grn points?

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take

Here is some good info on tuning. Read it through and start to follow the protocol and you can begin to figure this stuff out based on what the arrows are actually doing. You'll be able to achieve a good state of tune for YOU, for that bow and given set of arrows.

If those are the points you want to use I'd say yes.

Welcome aboard drummo. What you lot call flatbows we just call longbows, or American longbows. We recognize what an English longbow is but we have little use for them hereabouts. First, there is no need to cut your arrows so short; you could continue with what has worked for you.

Or you could go with lighter spine and lighter points. I would use 100 grain or 70 grain points with your set up for higher arrow speed and flatter trajectory.

Excuse the personal question but why is your draw length so short? Unless you are a very small person, not that there is anything wrong with that, I would have an experienced archer evaluate your form to see if you could draw a good deal further. I would evaluate that first before spending anything more. - lbg

Why cut them? I draw 29" but shooh a full length shaft. Does not hurt anything and it makes life simpler. Unless you just don't like having the extra shaft hang out overall the front.
