what kind of brace height are you guys running

and how many strands of D-97 does BW have n a string

 

I seem to be best at 7 3/8″ brace and using 14 strands of D-97

bare shafting  for a 47# bow @26″  (my draw) wants 2117 or 400’s  cut 27 1/2″ BOP with 175 grain points

spine calculator says 1916 but they way way weak

My brace varies by bow and shafting .

Im pulling 50 @ 29″ on most of mine and they like a 2016 ,30.5″ with 125 head or a 2018 @ 29.5 with 200 [ plus insert ]

 

my 40# 66″er that i just got for target and 3d likes a 1916 , full length with125

 

the 1916 and 2018 both run at about 12 gpp out of the respective bows

 

2117 sound way over spined for me – but i always end up lighter spine than most people

Thanks Been

don’t know why a more correct spine flys off to the right (right shower) but the 2117 bare shafts straight

 

I keep playng with this cause I know so stiff for 49#

 

175 grain point shouldn’t make that much difference with so short of an arrow (27 1/2″ BOP)

2016 shoot great out of my NM ASL;s at the same poundage

 

thanks again

will keep fiddling with it

finally got 2016 to tune using the alum bloom method- got nice even petals  all the way around so know hitting at a perfect 90º

 

gonna feather them up now

[BMaher73]

painful but cool eh !

 

[Andy Man]

sure is

 

they flew great with feathers

 

still cant figure why  weak with  bare shaft and 2117 straight even though they gotta be way stiff even with 175 gtain points

keeps worrying my head, and frustrating
