What is the difference between a 300 and 400 arrow?

What does 350 mean on arrows?

The numbers refer to the spine of the arrow. The different spines refer to the stiffness, a 400 spine arrow is generally for bows 40-60 lbs. 350 spine is for bows roughly 55 – 75 lbs, and a 500 spine arrow is for bows roughly 30 – 50 lbs.

What do the numbers mean on arrows?

The spine rating of an arrow is simply a measurement of its stiffness. The same Easton arrow comes in a variety of stiffness: the lower the number, the stiffer the arrow. For example, a 330 arrow is stiffer than a 500 spine arrow.

What arrow weight should I shoot?

If you want to target practice, you want the arrow to weigh in total (shaft, vanes, insert, nock and field point combined) around 5 to 6 grain per pound of draw weight. So if your bow has 60 lbs. of draw, you want to use arrows that weigh in total between 300 and 360 grain.

What is the best arrow weight for hunting?

I think a good average hunting arrow should fall in the 6 to 8 grains per pound of bow weight, with lighter bows maybe even closer to 9 to 10 grains per pound. A typical 60-lb. bow should be in the 360- to 480-grain range, a 70-lb. bow in the 420- to 560-grain range.

What weight arrow should I shoot?

How do you read an arrow size?

The standard way to measure arrow length is from the back of the point to the throat of the nock. Your draw length and arrow spine will influence your arrow length. If you’re a 28-inch draw length and want an arrow that ends at the front of the riser, your arrow length would be around 27 inches.

What size arrow should I use for my bow?

You simple take your draw length and add 0.5″ up to a maximum 1″ to determine appropriate arrow length. So if your draw length is 28″, you should get arrows with a maximum length of 29″. What this will do is give you an arrow that will be just long enough to clear the front-most part of the arrow shelf.

What is the difference between 330 and 500 arrows?

For example, a 330 arrow is stiffer than a 500 arrow spine. Depending on your draw weight, draw length, and arrow material, you’ll adjust your arrow spine accordingly. Arrows bend and flex when shot, so having the correct arrow spine will help improve your consistency and accuracy.

What does the spine number mean on an arrow?

“Spine” is the measurement of the arrow’s flex or bend. Arrow shafts are sorted by spine measurements, and manufacturers designate them with a number. You’ll find the spine number on the arrow’s label. Some common numbers are 350, 400, 500 and 600, but they vary by manufacturer.

How many inches does a 500 Arrow Bend?

The arrow must be 29” in length and supported by two points, which are 28” apart. The number of inches the arrow deflects or bends X 1000 due to the weight is the spine size or measurement of an arrow. So, a 500 arrow bends.5-inches when the weight is applied.

What do the numbers on an arrow shaft mean?

The first two numbers were the arrow’s diameter (in x/64th’s of an inch) and the second two numbers were the shaft’s wall thickness (in x/1,000th’s of an inch). So a 2315 was an arrow shaft with a 23/64″ diameter and a wall thickness of .015″.
