So I've been shooting target 20 yards for just over a year and worked up through a few limb changes.
My scores on a Portsmouth are averaging 540 - shooting 1 - 2 times per week.
My current set up
Hoyt Avalon Recurve 25" Riser
SF limbs (carbon) 34lb.
FastFlight 18 strand string
Arrows XX75 Platinum Plus 30" Spine: 2013
Just had my Draw Length measured at the club with an extra long Easton measure arrow and the result is 27.5 inch
(27 & half inches)
So I figured I'd need a shorter arrow and Carbon would be the way to go.
I've read that lots of archers are shooting arrows smaller than the draw length...
(I assume this is because the point/nib is not part of the equation).
I'm thinking I need a 28.5 inch arrow?
I've looked at the Easton Chart Guide & a few online shops...
Easton Charts put me in the spine range of 700 / 710 / 720
Easton Apollo 28.5 has a spine of 950
CarbonOne 28.5 has a spine of 1000
A/C/C 28.5 has 3.00 or 3L.00
These numbers seem very confusing & different.
I'm guessing that the differences in the numbers is down to the different materials used.
Any advice welcome.
cheers
