I recently purchased a 43# recurve.
I'm in the process of buying a 70# longbow.
I'm shooting a 340 spine Gold Tip Pro Hunter @ 32".
I have 6 arrows for it.
3 are crested, they have standard inserts and 50 grain screw in weights. The other 3 have 100 grain brass inserts. All are have 125 grain tips/Broadheads.
I tried the standard insert and 50 grain screw in weights, the weight was off. I tried 100 grains screw in weight, put me over. Used the 100 grain inserts all 6 arrows are within 3 grains of each other.
Since my longbow is 70# @ 28" and I'll be drawing it more than that the weights going to increase. Not sure how much, yet :-)
I'm using 340 spine arrows in my compound too. It's set at 64#.
How much harder will the longbow launch, compared to my compound and recurve?
Will/should I upgrade to a 300, 250 or more?
If I upgrade my arrows for the recurve should I change them all?
One arrow for three bows???
