Hello All,
I would like to purchase the longest arrows possible in order to improve my gap shooting. I use a 32# recurve, DL 26.5" from nock groove to arrow rest, and the rest is set back 1.5" from the front of the bow, so I only have 1" of arrow sticking out in front of the riser with my current 29" shafts. Is it feasable to try a full 32" long shaft, and if so, how would I calculate arrow spine given the discrepancy between draw length and arrow length? Economy arrows would be fine, provided they don't weigh considerably more than my current 290 gram arrows. Anything much heavier would give me too much arc at longer distances. I have some 380 gram aluminum arrows which provide a much more workable gap at indoor distance than the 290's, but I'm not able to shoot them very accurately much further back. Recommendations appreciated. Thanks.
