A number of companies make universal stringers. Selway makes a good “Longbow” one. I like the Super stringer By Thunderhorn,[longbow /Hybrid /recurve]It has worked well on everything I have tried. I tie a knot in it for shorter bows.

The Std Gold tip Traditionals [.006 straitness]in 55-75 spine is the only one I have used—

Handirifle –

If you decide to go with Gold Tip Tradionals – check out 3rs cat under Broadheads & points – weight systems. have a lot of stuff for adding weight to this arrow.

I find, I can shoot “pure” instictive well [ small tgts/area ]

out to 18+-yds. I shoot “split vision” from there to about 25yds { max Hunting under perfect conditions}. Further{ if you can refine your accuracy at long range it tightens your closer shots imho] than that and just for fun/practice, I gap.

Yea , It is a little different – but works for me.

I agree with Mr Graf -The gold tip is one of the easier arrows to work with if you are after efoc.I have them for shooting in my shrews { 56lb@27} 55-75 gold tips total tip weight including inserts 425 wTHeads.

I believe Dave’s arrow is for his 53# shrew but don’t remember his head setup other than I know it is also a Tuffhead. [ His CE is a “300”spine the equivelent in axis would be the 340 axis which is a “300”, Axis 400 is 400 spine]. As Mr Graf stated, check- the grs per inch. Just because an arrow/s is a “300” doesn’t mean they will shoot the same out of the same bow.

think of it as a General spine range. At least that is my experience.

I like the axis when I can get them tuned to a bow, as they are very thin -hopeing for better penetration.

the Carbon express arrow n#s just relate to each other – IE the CE250 is .373 spine and 11 grs per inch –Yea I know I get confused too, but each company is different and finding actual spine numbers can be a workout haha.

I have yet to have a problem with orders from 3 rivers /KK that they did not solve if something seemed awry from their end. Luckily all my Packages “so Far” from these 2 companies do not look “broken into” or “damaged” on the road, and I hope it remains that way. I have managed to have good service from all the “wells Fargo wagons” Fed EX -UpS -USPS ,but I have gotten to know the drivers & postal people——

Jeremy –

Been thru the area.

Most people don’t realize how good the Hunting is in NE.

A lot of birds and small game of course — but there are BIG Mule deer and Whitetails there! and More Antelope and even Elk in the West/Nwest parts.

Good luck !
