TurtleFace Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So I've got the takedown razorbak at 25lb so my gifriend can shoot with me... but I'm not sure what arrows would be good. Youth victory arrows (500 spine) aren't rated for that poundage on the box. Pse sells arrows with the same name but I was wondering if there were other options.

nyslowhand Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Can't help w/arrow selection, but it is very cool you & GF are shooting together!!!! Know you're talking about practicing, but you did post in a Bow Hunting topic... Just in case you didn't know - Per DEC's regs/rules: "It is unlawful to hunt big game with: A bow with a draw weight of 35 lbs or less."

TurtleFace Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 I understand fully. She wont be hunting, and we both realize the minimum required poundage to go after game. I posted here because I trust peoples opinions here. Thanks for making sure I understand the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) get the 500 spine victory decimator from dicks. $20 for 6. They will be fine a little bit overspined. Edited September 24, 2017 by Hock3y24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock3y24 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) According to my victory box 25lbs would need a 30" 500 arrow, you'll be fine to cut it shorter. My nephew shot my leftover 400 spine arrows at 20-30lbs and is fine. Edited September 25, 2017 by Hock3y24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoot these--also can buy same ones at field and stream and they are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) We are talking about a recurve I believe. 500s will be very stiff. 600s with heavy heads full length may work, but you are probably going to need 300g heads and it will be slow with a big drop beyond 20yds. My daughter has east jazz arrows for a similar weight. I think they are 1079 spine with 75g heads. If she doesn't plan to shoot past 20, the 600s with heavy heads will work. Otherwise, the Easton Jazz (1616 or 1716 maybe even 1816 with heavier heads) are a good option, but they are target arrows only. https://eastonarchery.com/target/xx75-jazz/ Edited September 25, 2017 by moog5050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurtleFace Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Sorry, yes it's a takedown recurve. I haven't had the chance to look into everyone's options, but I will. I took advantage of a dicks employee coupon I had and ordered the branded arrows that match the bow and we're going to take it from there. Thanks guys.

Hock3y24 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just a heads up, if you need 600 spine Black Eagle had there traditional arrows with feathers for $28 a 6 pack on clearance, great deal there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
