jlhcoues Report post Posted February 9, 2005 Ive been shooting xx75 2317 shafts for my entire bowhunting career, had great results but I would like to try carbon shafts. I shoot 31 inch arrows at 70#, no sights,Im also a finger shooter. Can any one help me with this. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger2 Report post Posted February 9, 2005 That depends...What type of carbon arrow are you looking at? Each company has their own size charts. Carbon express terminators come in sizes like 6075 which is basically the draw weight they are made for. Gold tips come in sizes something like 55-70. So it depends on the arrows you are looking at. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Report post Posted February 9, 2005 jlhcoues, I too shot bare bow/fingers and I used to shoot 2315 XX78, 29.5" @ 70lbs. When I swithched to carbon I tried GoldTip 5575 but couldn't get good flight with broadheads (probably a tuning issue) but I ended up shooting 29.5 inch 7595 GoldTips with 90 grain heads that fly like darts. Try to find some buddies that shoot carbons and play around or a shop that carries several brands etc. before investing a lot of money. I will say that I love my old GT's, they are tough and straight but were bought 8 years or so ago. I've heard that alot of people are having trouble with quality these days but they may be buying factory blemishes and seconds for all I know. Good luck with the switch I think you will enjoy the strength and straightness of carbons. Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamaro Report post Posted February 9, 2005 I think Kevin nailed it... Some arrows fly well for certain setups... The best thing you could do is try to buy about three arrows of different brands and spines... Shoot and Test.. My bow loves the Beman Matrix arrows... I had a had time with Goldtips.. But it could have been me. jason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
