Got a Hill style bow coming, it’s 46# @28”, fast flight string, 68” long. I would like my wood arrows to be 29” long boh. 50/55 or 55/60? Or am I completely off? Thanks

What weight point are you planning on using? You should be able to tune either spine with no issues.

Probably 125

I would think that the 50/55 would probably be the best option to start with using 125 weight up front. If you go to something heavier up front you might need to also increase the spine.

50/55 29” BOP 125grn FP 5” shield cut feathers and a pretty crested arrow,sounds great for you and your new HH.........we need pictures when your ready and set up!

I agree with Frank, you should be able to shoot both of those spines.

I'm drawing 46# @ 26" with my ASL using a Mercury string and shoot 55-60 tapered Fir shafts.

55/60 using a 125 to 145 head.

Ok I ordered some 55-59 spine tapered cedar arrows from Lost Nation Archery so I should have them before my bow is finished. Thanks for the help.
