Default Alominum arrows

I think 3 rivers still sells a few aluminums. You can always use carbons with weight tubes but us traditional hunters usually go with up front weight. You add the weight with brass inserts and even use heavy heads if you want more weight.

Here's my recipe for an average 50 lb Bow cut 1/8 from centre
250 heritage express arrow (or 500 spine other carbon arrow)
50 grain brass insert
250 grain screw in broadhead

That will kill anything you want, you'll have to tweak the arrow length or thickness if the side plate padding. Go to O.l. Adcocks site and learn about arrow tuning using the bareshaft method.


Welcome back to bowhunting! Take a look at the Alberta traditional bow hunters website, we have lots of cool members for you to get to know.
