Arrow setup for daughters 35lb bow

[Andrewlonghi]

I’m going to build some arrows for my daughter’s bow and I have some Easton axis 5mm 340 spine arrows I was thinking would work. Her draw length is 23” and she should be somewhere between 35-40 pounds by this next hunting season. What weight should I consider for up front and will 340 spine work or should I look for different spine. Her shots will be 20 yards and less

340 would be way stiff according to the spine charts/calculators, but it would probably work. 500-600 spine would be closer to “correct”.

I have my daughter shooting Easton axis 500. Shorter arrows will also increase the spine. I like a stiffer spine then can add weight up front accordingly to get it back to where I want it.

What kind of weight do you have up front ?….i was thinking 175-200 grains

Look at a 500-600 spine like suggested above.

I used to get cheap arrows off amazon and cut em a bit long for my kids to learn, so I didn’t have to cut more all the time.

I have set up arrows for low lbs for kids, gals and the wife many times. 400-500 spine with a 125 grain point, can load the front a little more if you have a light arrow, I like to be around 400 grains. Cut them long for weight and spine as well as keeping sharp broadheads way out front.

Many critters killed from 35-40lbs, including bear and elk, a 2 blade broadhead razor sharp is key, magnus stingers fit the bill. Hunting with a kid and watched him arrow 3 whitetail with 35lbs, a little 3 blade on his set up actually, all shots were 20 and in and all buried to the nock, his draw was short maybe 24?

The wife and her friend both had a longer draw for ladies anyway, 26.5, both shooting right at 40lbs, her friend killed a 350 bear with a 4 blade muzzy and a 425 grain 400 spine arrow, complete passthrough.
