So I have been told by every calculator and most bow shops that my arrow setup for this bow is wrong and I have two much FOC for a micro diameter arrow on a 48lb recurve. Problem is, all my fletchings are chewed up I lost six nocks this past week shooting targets between 15-20 yards… so they fly well for me. Why is everyone telling me they are not the right setup? Can someone school me as to why everyone says these are wrong but why I am getting such good arrow flight?
I am currently shooting a Striker sport 48lb@28”. My arrows are Black Eagle Instinct 400 cut to 30” (30.5 with outserts) with outserts at 100 grain and 150 grain tips, 4 feather 3” and 4 feather 4” both flying the same.
New bow is South’s Coyote FXT with ACS longbow limbs. One set of limbs at 50lb and another at 60lb. Will my current arrow setup work? I am hoping at 50lbs they will work but when I plug the arrow info into the 60lb calculators it shows it as an even worse option. Should I go ahead and redo my fletching and knocks and get them ready for this new bow or should I start from scratch and build a new arrow specifically for the new bow according to what everyone else and the calculators says I should shoot and not waste my time rebuilding these arrows? I do plan to test these arrows along with some Gold tip 400s and FMJ 340s I have on hand to see which fly the best as a test but hoping the black Eagles fit the bill.
