Alright this is probably a stupid question. But if i got new arrows for the bow i have right now (pse deer hunter) would they work with any other bow i get? Im askin because my deer hunter is old, not a short axle-to-axle bow an the bow im lookin at is, So my problem is i dont want to have to buy arrows now then buy more again next year.
I would think you should be fine aslong as the newer bow isn't putting a considerable increase in power to the arrows. If that's the case you may end up needing a stiffer spined arrow for your new set up. But if ur gonna keep the same draw weight I would think you should be good.
Should be fine like Remyngton said as long as the draw length didn't get a lot longer and considerable power increase.
Yeah it's the same poundage, 60. I just didn't know if they'd need to be shorter bein it'd be a new bow. It's the PSE sinister if that helps.
Just a thought. I went from a Deer Hunter to a Hoyt Carbon Element. I was shooting the same draw weight but, the cams on the newer bows are way more aggressive. That's one reason they are so much faster now. I was shooting a 400 spine and had just bought new arrows just before the bow purchase. I had to change to a 340 spine to compensate for the more aggressive cams. It's just something to think about.
Yep exactly what I was saying about the power to the arrow from the newer bow. Stickandstring just worded it a heck of a lot better than I could. Haha
An option, check out software like pinwheel software. http://www.pinwheelsoftware.com/default.aspx You can download the free trial and enter your setup info and see if it works.
Ok, so it's more or less the cam puttin to much power to the arrow, that's what I have right now is Easton carbon excel 400's so how much more of a difference would it make if I got 340's this time instead of 400's again?
A 400 spine arrow has pretty large range., most likely you can get those arrows to shoot well enough with your new bow providing its similar draw weight and length.. The short answer is yes, however you may need to make some minor changes when your tuning your new bow, for example if your week spined you can cut the arrow shorter or shoot a lighter weight head.
It depends on the bow and cams. The new cams being more aggressive are more efficient. In other words the power has been there for many years. After all 70lb of draw is the same weight no matter what. The bows now are just able to transfer more of that back into the bow on the power stroke. A 60lb bow with an IBO of 350fps will need a stronger spine than a bow that is rates at an IBO of 320fps but, they are the same weight.
