I know theres a lot of arrow threads to peak in to but I'm a little confused at the carbon express chart. I was looking at going to killzones this year and thought I better make sure everything else on my set up was good to go. I have been shooting mayhem hunter 250 arrows at 28 inches but noticed with my set up the chart is showing that I should be shooting 350s. That seems really high to me for my set up so I might be reading the chart wrong? I shoot a z7 xtreme 26.5 DL(comes out closer to 27 I think) and between 60-65# DW. Also I wouldn't mind shooting a heavier arrow I just don't know if that jumps it up too much going to the 350s.
You're arrows are a .418 spine and you need an arrow right around .400 You're kinda at a crossover point by the charts. However, you're shooting a pretty long arrow relative to you're draw length. So you aren't putting as much energy into the shaft as you would at 29"draw , which is the normal draw length for a 28"arrow. Given that, I suspect you're spine is fine. If you're not seeing tuning issues, then I wouldn't be concerned. If you are, I suggest cutting your current 250's down about an inch. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
And the arrow spine doesn't necessarily have anything to do with weight. Your too light comment is a bit misleading. That could be taken as too light in weight or too light on spine. (Too weak on spine is better terminology imo) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, Carbon Expresses numbers are wacked. I think it's dangerous that all arrows are not labeled the same.
Agree. A lot of people (myself included @ one time) think the 340, 400 etc. is the weight of the arrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
Oh ok thanks for that. I see where it is confusing when really its spine that I'm concerned with not weight overall
I have about an inch to spare at the end of the arrow and was told that the killzones need extra space because the blades sit back a little on the arrow shaft?
Killzone does not need an extra 1" from what I can tell. The Big Nasty needs the extra 1" Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
