Hey guys, I'm looking for ideas on a good deer hunting arrow for a 50# bear Montana longbow. I appreciate any suggestions.
I'd try 45-50# spine wood if you're drawing 28"
That's what my son Tyler shoots out of his, and they fly great!
What's your dew length and what material do you prefer?
35-55 Gold tip will shoot great with 125 grain .They do for me
28.5 draw. Ive used carbon but, I'm too new to have an educated preference. I was looking at the bear archery retros, which look great. And I have grizzly broad heads. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Any idea what weight Grizzlys you have? You'll need matching weight field points. Feather fletching, of coarse. Many prefer carbons, I prefer wood. Just personal preference...
If you haven't already done so, have someone mark your true draw length on an arrow. Add an inch for broad head clearance. That will give you your "back of point" (BOP) arrow length. (Yes, that extra inch makes a difference!)
Once you get back to us with the info, I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions to get you started!
Ok I got 30" back of point with the inch. 125 grain broadhead and field points.
50-55# wood, should fly great out of your Montana.
Cut them 31" then tapper the ends, and glue your points on.
In a carbon I'd start with a full length 500 since you don't have all that much weight up front.
I use 400 spine 30 in.with 100gr.brass inserts 170 grain points. They fly like a dot.
29" 400, 250-300 grains up front for my 55# Montana drawn 28.5"
Wow I appreciate all this information. You guys are great.
...Easton 2018's , 145-150 gr broadhead/points all the way ....Bear SS Razorhead falls into that weight category perfectly ;)
Love the Montana's myself .....
Best with the quest !
