Hey guys, I am looking to improve my shooting for indoor competitions (particularly BUCS Indoors) and I am looking to change my set-up to improve this, mainly the arrows that I am using. My current set-up is:
- Kaya K1, 28# long
- Winact VT Riser, 25" (Making 70" bow)
- Draw length is 29.5", resulting in 34# on the fingers
- Shooting Easton ACC, Spine 3L-18/620
- Spigarelli ZT rest, its a wrap-around barebow rest so it can accommodate any diameter arrow with tuning.
I have discussed with a couple of employees at my archery shop about the possibility of using Carbon X-Busters (or similar large diameter carbon arrows). This would give the advantage of having a large diameter to give increased chance of line-cutters, which is very good for barebow shooting. They said that it will be 'different', but they say that if i was to use the arrows that are the the lowest spine, use like a 200 grain point, increase my poundage up to 38# on the fingers and use 31.5" arrows, it may be possible.
The fletchings to use would also be 4" Feathers, with a possible helical on them. I may need to only use 2 fletchings due to the rest but I'm not sure.
I would appreciate any and all advice about this set-up, whether it is a good idea, if it is possible and if it should or should not be done. I'm aware that this set-up is rare (never seen it myself) and it make look stupid, but if it works then it can't be stupid
Kind regards,
Tom
