arrow weight for bow

My dad started bow hunting last year he's using my old bow. It's a Martin but not sure what model. Draw weight is maxed at 50lbs and I think draw length is around 27 could check later. Anyway he needs new arrows and just wondering what he should use for weight and spine. I have easton da torch 330s I'm not using this year wondering if they'd work. Thanks in advance!

 

I am using Easton hexx 330(same as the torch) for a 70 lbs at 28 in so the may be to stiff ??

 

I would go up to 400 at least with that weight

 

That is actually down to 400. 400 is a weaker spine than the 330. 400 may be to stiff according to any chart but if you use long enough arrows I think it will be fine.

 

I know I always say up for some reason like driving up there when its really south of me. My bad lil

 

Ok thanks, yeah then we will have to get some different ones.

 

Could do GoldTip 3555 arrows or Carbon Express 250s. According to some arrows charts 400's might be a little stiff but you might be able to get away with them. The 330's are definitely too stiff. They might work but its a gamble.

I shoot FMJ 500's ... and have a pretty close set up as your dads.

 

I agree. With a 27 DL pulling 50# I would think the 500 spine would be what you'd want. If using 400 use heavier broadheads to weaken the spine some.
