Title: 31"2216=?cedar shaft?
Post by: Brian Krebs on April 22, 2007, 10:37:00 PM
I can neuter a gnat with a 2216 shaft 31 inches long out of my longbow. I am not going to mention the weight of the bow.
What cedar shaft of this length would best replicate the action of a 2216 shaft?
with a 135 grain head?

yes I am frustrated.  :mad:    :confused:    :banghead:

95-100# would be close.

I think 85-90's would be the closest spine match, but wood being wood I think I'd go up a bit over the actual numerical spine of the 2216.

"Neuter a knat"!  That's funny, I've not heard that one.

That's what I was figuring SBM.

I shoot 2216"s @ 31" and find that 85-90 woodies match up just fine.
