bowhuntMN Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 i purchased a half dozen of the beman team realtree arrows last summer and didnt realize the store worker grabbed the box of arrows whose number did not match up to the draw weight and length i was shooting on the back of their box. they seemed to shoot just fine but i plan on buying another half dozen arrows soon and was wondering if you think i should buy ones that will match the ones i have now or go with new ones that match my draw weight and length. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Depends on how close to the spine you actually are. What arrows? What are the numbers you have now? What bow? What poundage? What drawlength? What length arrows? Give me this info and I can give you a more accurate answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illinois59 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Go to your local pro shop and talk to them and follow their advice. The term "store worker" indicates that the guy didnt have a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hutchies is the man:D So what are the specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhuntMN Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 beman team realtree carbon arrows, 340 (10.4 gpi), diamond black ice bow at around 50 lbs with 27 in draw length, and no, the "store worker" at cabelas didnt know to do anything more than attach a knocking loop. i couldve had my sister do the same things he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) .340 is an extremely stiff spine for 50 lbs.........if you are cutting your arrows at 28" I would got with a Beman .400 spined shaft. Those 340's ar for someone shooting at 70 lbs. At 50 lbs and a 28" arrow you are right on the line between using a .500 and .400 spine shaft. Stick with the 400's and you'll be fine. It doesn't hurt to shoot the 340's............shooting 400's will be easier to tune though. One more question..........What grain tip are you shooting in them and how are the Beman 340's flying now with broadheads in them?

bowhuntMN Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 im using 100 grain practice tips and rage 2 blade 100 grain broadheads. they seem to shoot just fine but every once in a while i have an arrow that doesn't fly straight but thats pobably just from me jerking the release or bow or some other shooting error i make.
