Title: Question on carbon arrows
Post by: fflintlock on March 14, 2007, 11:53:00 AM
Someone gave some carbon arrows today, they are a wrapped carbon composit, made in Korea, the name on them is "FURY" 6075
Anyone know anything about them ?
There 33" long, I wonder how they would shoot out of a 50# long bow ?
They are Redheads from Bass pro shops, $44.00 a dozen, I did a search for them, at that price, they probably arn't all that good ?
Thanks,
Jerald

Straightness is + or - .006 grains

Matched weight is + or - 1 grain.

They usually come fletched with vanes, strip the vanes and put some feathers on em and give em a try.  They will need some extra weight up front though around  225 grains to fly good.

Even if ya leave them full length they may not fly well with 225 up front. If the longbow is cut well past center, maybe. I would find some carbon that say 35/55 or 45/60 and leave them long with 225 up front and trim 1/2" at a time until ya get good flight. Shawn
