Hi there, just after some general guidance.
I'm looking to make up some clout arrows, and was wondering what the general guidance would be as to diameter, shaft weight, fletching size etc. I'll be making them up to 31" from nock to shoulder of the pile.
I have a few shafts to choose from:
Spruce 5/16 355-363gn
Spruce 11/32 310-313gn
Pine 11/32 320-342gn
All are spined to the same 40/45#. My instinct says to go for the 5/16, although they're heavier they have a bit less surface area and should therefore have a bit less wind resistance. If needs be I could pair them with 65gn piles to keep the weight down a bit.
Which shafts would you choose from those?
