dustin25 Report post Posted May 21, 2018 I'm in the same boat, and I thought spot and stalk with a compound seemed tough.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZAV8ER Report post Posted May 21, 2018 What weight draw are you shooting? I hunted one year with a recurve and decided spot and stalk with a round ball BP muzzleloader was more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest oneshot Report post Posted May 26, 2018 Daym SWEET!!! Gleaming to see others finding out about trad gear hunting, when you can kill a deer with a bendy stick, string and pointy stick, the rewards are even greater... Good Luck all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brent Report post Posted May 30, 2018 What spine carbons do you suggest? I'm having a heck of time finding aluminum anymore. There are a lot of factors at play: draw length, poundage, arrow length, how much tip weight you want.... You can play around with the 3rivers arrow calculator to get an idea what might work, but you really need to have some components at your disposal to mess with paper tuning to get it perfect.

Buy these. You wont get velocity with a recurve so you need to rely on weight. Carbons are awesome out of a traditional bow. Durability is off the charts. It's easy to get a carbon arrow over 500 grains with steel broadhead adapters, weight tubes and a chunky traditional head. FOC is excellent too. My favorite arrow is a Victory 500 tipped with a Zwickey eskimo on a steel BH adapter (about 200 grains). Use it to hunt jackrabbits in the malapai. Holds up very well.

Buy these. You wont get velocity with a recurve so you need to rely on weight. I'm shooting carbon Gold-Tip Hunter Expedition 5575, 5inch feather fleching, 100gr Muzzy w/20gr inserts 30inch arrow, 18% FOC... (60inch Black Widow one piece recurve,49lbs at 30inches, off the shelf, bare fingers, no sights/stabs/quiver attached to bow) There are charts by arrow manufactures that start you off with suggested arrows. Black Widow Bow's has a minimum arrow weight 8-10grs per inch, I'm sure other Bows(including wheelies) have a min weight as well... Getting your arrows at proper weight/length, brace height and nocking point are all that is really needed to tune a stick bow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
