Man, choosing arrows for a recurve isn't easy. Using the 3Rivers calculator I have come up with .500 spine and anywhere from 100-125 grain points, shaft length dependent. This is a new to me recurve to learn on and decide where I go from there. No serious hunting planned with this bow.
The bow: Southwest Archery Tiger Shark (similar to a Sage) 1/8" cut past center, 35lbs @ 28", drawing at a guess of 29-30" based on my current 30.5"dl on a compound, ff flemish string, shooting 3 under, no string walking.
Does the .500 sound in the ballpark? I have an arrow saw so no problem shortening the shaft. The Black Eagle Vintage carbon (from 3Rivers) is interesting as it comes in a 34" uncut length as opposed to many others at 30-31". They come fletched, which I do not have the ability to handle feathers currently.
