I have a 60lb 65k that I would like to hunt with during the late archery season in PA. I've never delt with one of these older bows in this amount of weight. Just wondering if 60/65 spined arrows would be a good starting point, or will it need a heavier spine? I have a 28" draw, and like a inch to an inch and half overhang on my arrows. Also most of my BH's and fieldpoints are 125/145gr, sure would like to use them if possible! Any input is greatly appreciated!

Hi Chuck I'd add 5# for the extra overhang.60-65 as you mentioned would be a good starting point.But may try a 65-70 also.bd

TRB I think I'm gonna give those 65-70 a try. If they don't work out I have another bow they may work in. Thank for the advice!

Keep me posted on how it works.I shoot a 60-65 plus a couple 68 pound spine Bill Sweetland forgewoods out of all my Kodiaks and my Bear take down that range from 53#-55#.bowdoc

I have a 1959 Grizzly that is 65# it likes 75-80# cedar cut to 29" with 145 gn broadheads.

Is that when it's drawn to 25 inches Bjorn?

J/K I can draw 65# also, about twice and then I go get something fun to shoot.
