at the moment im shooting 50/55 sitka arrows out of my samick phantom recurve,im after some aluminium arrow for it and am having trouble on waht to get the specs of the bow is as follows-

samick phantom #50@28
my draw is 26 have put the bow on scales and im drawing #46

arrows are- 50/55 sitka cut to 29"with a 49 gr wood screw adaptor and im using 160gr tusker b/h shoots pretty good with this combo

could someone suggest an allum arrow for this bow

im thinking 2016 or 2014

Hi Ozzy, 2016's would be where I would start and are more durable due to the thicker wall thickness. Steve

I think you will find that for 26" draw and 46# that 19:16's Alloys initially cut to 28.5 and trim shorter as you tune the spine. With an alloy point adapter and 125 gr field pionts you'll be close to the spine you require.

Im with Steve 2016's Easton Legacy's ( they are rated for about 50-55lb ) but throw 160grn tips on them ( WHICH WILL BE THE SAME AS YOUR 160GRN Tuskers.) to soffen them up a little I shoot them out of a longbow at the same poundage as you and they work well.
If the woods are 50-55lb the alloys should suit as well.

Try shortening your arrows a little more back to 27.5'' they will still be long enough with the longer broadhead and 160grn field tips are long and narrow as well.

Just a thought.

If you cutt them down just do one first and try it before cutting the rest.
