I just bought a brand new Super Shrew 11 from Kustom King Archery. I have two dozen full length Easton ST Epic .500's that I was shooting out of my 44# BW recurve. With 175gr tips, those arrows flew great from that BW. I was hoping to be able to use those same arrows for my Shrew. They were weak with 175gr up front. I put 125gr fp on and they flew like darts, just hitting 4" high. The arrows with 175gr tips weight 450gr. I like having my arrows full length because I shoot 3 under and my point on is like 25-30 yards. I can either use the arrows as they are with 125gr tips and they weigh 400gr or I can cut some off the shaft to get the 175's to tune. The bow is 45#@28". I draw 28". I'm leaning towards cutting a little off the shaft because I like hunting with my 175gr Simmons Tiger Sharks. How much would I have to cut do y'all think? Would an inch do it? If I had to cut more than that then I might stick with keeping them long with a lighter point weight. Thoughts?
Not sure on how close to center shrew is cut but closer it is the less you will need to cut. My guess is not more than 1/4 - 1/2" for 50gr. That won't effect point on much. Won't know to you try it with one.
I don't have an answer for you, but, you might have to sacrifice one arrow to find out. Good luck to ya.
Thanks, yea, I'll just have to play around with it. I like shooting the full length shafts but an half inch to an inch probably won't matter much.
