Title: Fred Eichler arrow setup
Post by: wapiti3 on May 03, 2007, 03:53:00 PM
I have been watching the Easton Bowhunting videos with Fred Eichler. Fred states that he uses a 54lb. recurve- a Palmer I think. Does anyone know what spine of Axis full metal jacket arrow he uses and it's length? The video states that he uses a 105 gr. Muzzy Phnatom 2 blade head. It seems like he is using a light arrow setup, so I was wondering the details.

if I remember it's 540's 30-31" BOP... if he doesn't reply to this I'll check out Traditional Harvest IV ( His setup is on that one, just before he goes Polerbear hunting...Great DVD Fred )

According to the show Web site he is using Axis 400s on his Palmer recurve. Not sure of the length.  I have a similar Palmer setup and shoot 30" BOP.  The 400s work like a dream for me.

He is shooting 400's Axis and Full Metal Jackets with 125gr 4bl Phantoms.   For his big bear hunts he used the 340 with the brass inserts and 125's.  Mark
