Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere, but I cant find much information on clout arrows. My old bow was marked as 50# but I don't think it ever was that poundage,it now weighs in at 38#. I could never get to the men's clout distance and have always shot the ladies distance at our clubs clouts.
My new bow is 50# and it definitely has a lot more power, so hopefully I'll become a man at last![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
What do members recommend? I'm intending to go for 5/16 40/45 spine tapered to 1/4 inch points, those lovely Victorian Richard Head slender lethal ones, with tiny fletchings. I've seen some Sitka Spruce on Ebay which is meant to be a lighter wood. Could it be too light for my bow?
Any suggestions would be welcome and could be useful for other members too. The clout is on New Years day so I've time to get them made.
