Jamie's questions spurred some interest in myself to dust off my trad bow. One thing preventing me from shooting it is arrows. I don't have any wooden arrows and not sure what my options are. I know I have asked this before but never got motivated enough to go get some. I have no clue where that thread got to.
Bow make is a Shakespeare. Model says "X18" but it also says "The Sierra" above Model X18. It has 52" K43876T and 50# written on it as well. Can I shoot my carbon arrows? I have 6-8 Gold Tip 5575s sitting around and about the same number of Radial X-Weave arrows sitting. Both were bought for 70lb compound but I don't know if they would work or not.
Next question is string related. I haven't the foggiest clue about these strings. How would I know if they were good or not? I just want to start shooting it for now. I really don't intend on hunting with it unless some miracle happened and I feel right at home and confident out of the gates. Reality tells me this probably won't happen, but you never know I guess.
Thanks,Phil
