So, I've begun building arrows for my Bear Montana longbow and, being a new-b to the traditional world, I have a question.
First some info: I have two arrows, one 400 spine @ 31 1/8", the other a 480 spine @ 28 7/8". My draw length is 26.5". I am running 175gn inserts w/ 25gn footer and 125 gn points and I want to stick with this setup. Both bare shafts are flying great at their respective lengths. The question is which one to choose? I am leaning toward the 480 because it's shorter and, when I switch to broadheads, it will be even longer than it is now. Is there a reason to go with the already long 400 besides having a heavier inherent gpi? Thanks for the help!
