The shafts I received were of fine quality, and although I did not test the spine, they were advertised as spine tested, and I believe they are.

A:
I have a very similar (55#) recurve and have had very good results with
cedar shafts spined 5 lbs heavier (60#) and 125 grain heads. Reckon you
could go + or - 25 grains with no problem.

I would pick the point first then determine the spine as you want to make
sure your point is heavy enough to have an adequate front of center balance
point. http://www.3riversarchery.com/pdf/ArrowCharts.pdf this is the link
to the spine chart. you also need to know the length of arrow. If you were
going to make a 28" arrow you would want 125 grain heads to get you in the
ball park with your bow. However if your bow is not a center shot or cut
past center you might lighten the spine slightly or increase point weight.
I use 125 grain points on a 31" POC arrow with a 55-60 lb spine for my 50lb
bows.

A:
Without knowing your draw length it is not possible to tell what weight point will make the arrows fly the best. If your draw is close to 28", more than likely a weight close to 125 grains will work.

If you’re not trying to drive nails at 40 yards, you shouldn’t have a problem with decent arrow flight anywhere between 125-145 grains.

As a very general answer, 100 grain or 125 grain should do fine. You may want to try the 125 grain.

3Rivers has a great on-line tool to match the bow to the arrows. You input the parameters of the bow on the left side of the page, and the parameters of the arrow on the right side, and it will calculate how well your arrows match your bow. You can then change the variables of the arrow parameters, such as length, spine, tip weight, etc until you have an arrow configuration that matches your bow, and you. Check out http://www.3riversarchery.com/spinecalculator.asp
It works really well for me. My arrows fly so much better now that I used this tool to solve my arrow/bow mis-match.

With a recurve add 10# to spine weight. So you will want 60# shafts. With that weight of a bow you will probably want 125grain points.

Hi !

A:
I would use 65# - 70# depending on the weight of the point / broadhead that
you want to use.
I am assuming that your shafts would be 30" to 31" at the beginning of the
point taper.
If your shafts are overly long or you use a point over 200 gr. You might
need more spine.

I've had great results with the PO cedar shafts on my 55 pound longbow and
recurve. Best results came with arrow shafts spined 5 lbs heavier than
peak draw weight.
Answered on 3/25/2013 by Anonymous
A:
Start by saying nice bow, and good choice! A 60 pound pull is the same in all recurve or longbows you are matching the 60 pound spine weight to that of pull weight. When they select shafting they use a range so it may be possible for a arrow or two to be underpinned and the same in the overs pined direction. So I build my arrows, fly my arrows and make a small hash mark system to mark my arrows as to witch ones fly the best. These are saved for hunting the others for target. Nice shaft I do recommend but spend some time hand straightening prior to lacquering and finishing.

I am in the process of finishing a ladies self bow that will pull 37-40 lbs at 25 inches. the arrow pass is 5/16 from center. Will the shafts be close if I cut them to 26 inches and taper them down to 1/4 inch on the nock end? I have done this with other cedar shafts with good results except a taper from 11/32 to 5/16.

Q:
I'm quite a novice, and so still experimenting with materials and technique.
I've heard that some folks shoot full-length arrows. How important is it to cut shafts to an individual's draw length? Is it always necessary?
Thanks for the advice!

A:
Gday mate, Welcolm to the world of archery. There is nothing wrong with shooting full length arrows if you want to but bear in mind that spine rate will be affected and velocity will be reduced because you are asking the bow to shift more mass. A shorter stiffer arrow of the correct spine is a far better proposition.
Answered on 2/6/2013 by Anonymous
A:
For rough shooting, as long as the shaft is cut *long* enough, you can
shoot it safely. Never shoot a shaft that is too short, as it can fall
off the rest at the wrong moment and you could seriously injure your hand.
Otherwise, shooting a randomly cut shaft will matter in the details. If
you are using the point-of-aim or gap methods, you'll want all your
shafts to be the same length so that you can choose your aiming point
consistently, and, of course, for any aiming method, the length affects
the weight and the weight affects the flight. Also, the length will
affect how much the arrow bends when you fire it, so a longer arrow
should use a higher spine.
Hope that helps.
Answered on 2/6/2013 by Anonymous
A:
I have only cut the shafts to my draw length. That is what I was told from the beginning. I have not tried to shoot a full length shaft. I would guess that if you do shoot full length, you might want to get a test kit of shafts and tips to see what weight combination works well with your bow.
Answered on 2/6/2013 by Anonymous
A:
If your just shooting at targets for fun and dont care about improving your accuracy, then the length doesn't matter. However, if you would like to improve your shooting then check out a spine chart. It will tell you what shafts to use with what bow with the proper length for the shafts and the correct weight on tips for them. Also look into getting a grain scale so you can get all of your arrows to the same weight. If your shooting arrows that are all exactly the same size and weight, you'll get better alot faster
Answered on 2/6/2013 by Anonymous
A:
It all depends on the tuning. A longer arrow will perform weaker and generally recover faster. A shorter arrow will get stiffer. Depending on the arrows that you have and the the bow that you are using, sometimes its better to leave them full length. Other times you will get better arrow flight by cutting the arrow as short as possible.
Answered on 2/6/2013 by Justin from 3Rivers Archery
A:
Yes it is quite necessary. If the shaft is too long, your shots will be difficult to control due to the increased flexing the arrow does when fired. You need a precision tool for accurate shots. You can't have one without the other.
Best!

It is not really necessary if the arrows are matched to the bow properly. That requires testing them with your bow. Most people cut them down to reduce weight and therefore arrow speed/cast.
