The Trad Hole

So, after getting back into a trad bow recently, I bought a dz.2020 Autumn Orange shafts from 3 rivers. Got them tuned up @ 29.5” with a 125 gr head. They’re weighing in at 552-555 grs. My longbow is 57#@28 and I’ve learned that after my shoulder injury I’m only drawing to27”…cool story, I’m still pulling around 55#. I found 3-29.5” 2117 fall stalkers in my stash of mismatched arrows. So, for giggles, I threw a 125 gr glue on with a 100 gr adapter onto 1 of these and they flew amazing. These are weighing in at 637-641. I the pulled out some 30 1/4” carbon express pile driver 350’s and put the same 225 gr tips on them and they flew great . These weighed in the 559-560 gr range. Did I mention that I like heavy arrows! I forgot how much fun this can be and how far down the hole I can go. Decisions, decisions…and I’m just getting started!🤣
