What spline and size arrow should I use?

[Blackshear]

I just got the Mathews Lift and i'm looking to get a different arrow setup. I shoot a lower draw weight due to being weaker, my current draw weight is 50lb with a 29.5 draw length. I am curious on what spline arrow i should shoot and what size arrow? Any particular brand of arrow or model I should look into?

My current arrows are gold tip hunter 340 spline.

You can either go, 350 or 400 spine. I have been using Easton Axis and they have been good.

Ill look into those, thank you

You can find charts online. I’m thinking 400 but I’m no expert. Also not a bad idea to figure out what grain head/arrow you want to use. Be a good idea to keep your FOC within the ideal numbers (between 12 & 15% if I remember right). Talk to someone at a reputable bow shop. Good luck.

Thank you sir, from what i'm seeing my best bet is 400 grain.

I’ve used Archers Advantage website. Used to cost around $10 per year. You can plug your bow specs in and make all kinds of arrow choices. Try to keep in mind common broadhead weights like 100, 125, or 200 grains.

You’re mixing up terminology.

Spine (not spline) is a measure of arrow stiffness and smaller numbers indicate stiffer arrows.

Grains are a measure of weight. Stiffer arrows are generally heavier than weaker arrows but not always if you’re comparing different types or brands. That’s why arrow weight is often listed in gpi, or grains per inch.

As donpablo mentioned, you also need to know what grain weight your broadheads are to properly size your arrows. At a 50 lb draw weight, a 29.5 draw length, and a 400 spine arrow, you’ll likely find an ideal setup with a 100 grain head or smaller. The arrow charts use arrow length, not draw length, in calculating recommended arrow sizes.

I see now my terminology was wrong, thank you for correcting me. After finding these charts and comparing, majority of them say i should be using a 400 Grain arrow.

A 400 SPINE arrow.

350 or 400 spine and i shoot the Victory Rip ss, they are on the heavy side as are the easton axis. rip tko and vap tko are good weight to run efficient Foc, I have heard good things about altra arrows too

what type of hunting do you do? how many animals per years? how far are your shots?

how are you measuring your arrows? end to end? it is usually from the bottom of the knock or carbon to carbon.

For most hunters, especially hunting over a feeder, 20-40 yard shots i would shoot gold tip xt hunters with 50 grain brass inserts.

they are standard diameter arrows , .003 straightness, good priced, you can buy them fletched

I just got some Victory VAP TKO's to try this year. I've been thinking about trying them for a long time and a shop had 5 that had been cut and returned. Figured it was worth the $60
