USING THE TARGET ARROW SELECTION CHART
1. Once you have determined your Correct Target Arrow Length and Calculated or
Actual Peak Bow Weight, you are ready to select your correct shaft size:
1.A Compound bows. In the "Calculated Peak Bow Weight" column (left-hand side
of the chart), select the column with the type of cam on your bow. Locate your
Calculated Peak Bow Weight in that column.
1.B Recurve bows and Modern Longbows. In the "Recurve Bow Weight" column
(right-hand side of the chart), select the column with the bow type. Next, locate
your Actual Peak Bow Weight in that column.
2. Move across that bow-weight row horizontally to the column indicating your Correct
Arrow Length. Note the letter in the box where your Calculated or Actual Peak Bow
Weight row and Correct Target Arrow Length column intersect. The "Shaft Size" box
below the chart with the same letter contains your recommended shaft sizes. Select
a shaft from the chart depending on the shaft material, shaft weight, and type of
shooting you will be doing.
SELECTING THE CORRECT TARGET SHAFT SIZE
Our Target Shaft Selection Chart will help you find the perfect shaft match for
your bow— quickly & easily. Advanced, interactive Spine Weight Comparison and
Target Shaft Selection Charts are now available online at eastonarchery.com
1. Determining Correct Target Arrow Length
The Correct Arrow Length for bows (including bows with overdraws) is determined
by drawing an extra-long arrow to full draw and having someone mark the arrow one
inch in front of where the arrow contacts the most forward portion of the arrow rest.
Correct Target Arrow Length
Back of bow
(far side)
Note: Correct arrow length is measured from throat (string hole) of the
nock to end of the shaft, not including point or insert.
Mark arrow here.
Correct Target Arrow Length
1" clearance
(minimum)
Bottom
of nock
groove.
Place where arrow contacts most
forward portion of the arrow rest.
Belly of bow (face side)
Bow Draw Length. Draw length is measured at full draw from the bottom of the
nock groove to the back (far side) of the bow. Actual arrow length and draw length
are only the same if the end of the arrow shaft is even with the back of the bow (far
side) at full draw.
2. Determining Actual Peak Bow Weight Compound Bows
Compound bows must be measured at the peak bow weight as the bow is being drawn
and not while letting the bow down.
The suggested shaft sizes in the charts were determined using a “Standard” Setup
which includes:
• Use of a release aid
• Compound bow with brace height greater than 60”
If your setup differs from the “Standard” Setup, use the V ariables (following) to make
adjustments to determine the Calculated Peak Bow Weight so the correct arrow size
can be selected on the chart.
V ariables to the “Standard” Setup for Compound Bows
• Point weight over 100 gr.– Add 3 lbs. for each 25 gr. heavier than 100 gr.
• Bows with brace heights less than 60”– Add 5 lbs.
• Finger release– Add 5 lbs.
Overdraw Compound Bows
If you are using an overdraw, make the variable calculations (if any), and then modify the
Calculated Peak Bow Weight of your bow using the chart below.
Length of Overdraw 1" 2" 3" 4" 5"
For 50#– 70# Actual/Calculated Peak Bow Weight, add to bow weight – 1# 3# 6# 9# 12#
3. DETERMINING ACTUAL PEAK BOW WEIGHT RECURVE AND MODERN LONGBOWS
Your local archery pro shop is the best place to determine the actual draw weight
of your bow. Actual Peak Bow Weight for recurve bows and longbows should be
measured at your draw length.
