Default Arrow help Please

I've got a 62" recurve 50# at 28. I was thinking 125gr. broadhead. Got any ideal what arrow might work best.
Thanks Ronny

I'm using Easton Powerflight 400s in mine that is 62" AMO and 55# @ 28. I normally shoot cedar out of my longbow, but build this set of carbons for 3D shoots and my new recurve likes them. I'm using 125gr points/broadheads on them. Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. This Trad stuff is all new to me, but I'm taking the wheels off and giving it a try.

You will get hooked on the "Simple Life" really quick.

If you want to give aluminums a go, use the 2016 or maybe 2114s.

I have been using Beman Bowhunter 400 ICS with both my 50++ longbow, and my 54 lb Bob Lee recurve, with 100 gr. points, cut to 29 inch. They have been shooting real well out of both of them, except for the two that choose to fly off target at BPS popup shoot and I broke them. But I do not know anything about trad, just what I was told to get by the archery shop for what I am shooting. I hope they work on my 65 lb Palmer recurve, but will have to check before I try. Bob

Bob you might one to step up to a 340 shaft at 29" for that 65 pounder. The 400s might give you a little too much flex and may not stabilize broadheads.

Thanks Derek, I am looking forward to shooting the bow, just hopefully I can pull it back. Bob
