Need some summer advice: help me build an arrow. Start with 200 grain grizzly left bevel glue on. Shooting from 65# American longbow ASL. Arrow should be 29” long to BOP
I’m thinking I need to start with an 85# shaft?

Surewood Shafts set me up with Hunter Grade Douglas Fir sticks for my first wood arrow build project. They fly straight as an arrow.

Justin,we need the draw length and the center shot dimension. I second Surewoods. They know their business and are very helpful. >>>>-----> Ken

Shoot split finger with a glove
I’ll call surewoods
Thanks!
I’ve got 4 dozen 100/105 surewoods but certain they’re too stiff.

Draw is 28” I’ll have to measure the centershot. It’s not cut to center.

65@28. ASL Schulz with b50 string. 29"bop is a 30" shaft, 2" longer than 28" std. so spine is weakened 10#. 200 gr. head is 75 gr. over 125 gr. std so spine is weakened another 15#. Total of 25# dynamic weaker spine so I'd use 90-95# shafts. Those heavy heads wreak havoc on arrow tuning on heavier bows because you need such stiff spines. A 125-145 gr. head would let you use 75-80# shafts most likely.

Thanks for your input Nate. Your calculations are very very helpful! Does it change if I use a longbow that is closer to centershot such as my howard hill halfbreed is? 67@28

Not enough to notice. Also, most asl longbows will shoot a stiffer arrow better. It will fly a little left (for a rh shooter) it not as much as you'd think. It has something to do with the stiffer arrow also pushing the bow out of the way somewhat at release instead of just bending around the riser. (A unique phenomena with hand held longbows vs. shooting machine held longbows) I can shoot up to 15# over spine no problems with wood arrows.
Also, the stiffer your wood arrow spines get, the less deflection between spine ranges. There is less deflection difference from 80-100# spine than from 40- 50#, which makes the tuning easier for the heavier bows.
