I would like your help in selecting an arrow for my 2014 Martin Hunter 62”, 40@28”. I’m drawing 28” and use a FF string. Don’t shoot it at all since I normally shoot my Palmer.
However it’s a beautiful bow and would like to give it some shooting time. I currently have some 30” 500 carbons but know that they are way too stiff.
I would like to stick to carbons, but am also open to aluminum. I was thinking a 1916 or Carbon 600 at 30”.
Also, I shoot 3 under.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

I use 1916, 30", 125 gr. point on my 40 to 45 pound bows.
Lately it has been carbon gold tip velocity 500s, cut to 28 1/2" on my bows 35 to 45 pounds.

Try your .500s first, they may work out. Otherwise, go to the .600s or 1916s.

3 Rivers Archery calculator yielded the following numbers for your 40# Martin Hunter drawn 28" with a middle of the road FF string and a 30" generic .500 carbon bareshaft with 125 point:
54.2 Dynamic Spine 54.5 Dynamic Spine These two numbers should be nearly equal (within 2#).
Arrow Total Weight (grains)403
Arrow Specific Weight (GPP)10.1
Front of Center (FOC) %17
Arrow Speed (ft/sec)185
Arrow Energy (ft-lbs)30.6
I'm inclined to agree with reddogge...

1816's cut to 29" with 125 grain heads would be perfect.

I have a 45# Yellowstone Hunter that will shoot 29” 600s with 150 grain points or a 500 with 200 grain point so I would try the 500s you have just add some point weight. I have a 28” draw and shoot 29” arrows.

I use 30 in 1916s for a similar bow as Buzz says. But 2016s also fly well from same bow. I am recently since semi- retired shooting a bunch of different bows so finding arrows which will fly well from multiple bows.

I am using gold tip traditional 600's at 30 inches, 100 grain inserts, and 125 grain heads. I too draw 28", and am shooting 40@28. Very good flight off an elevated rest, and penetration is phenomenal.
