Recommendations
Arrow length is measured from the throat of the nock to the end of the insert. If you are shooting a longer
broadhead than field point, you may want to choose a slightly stiffer shaft.
Compound Bows - With Release Aid
Note: With a compound bow and release aid it is acceptable to use a shaft that is stiffer than indicated on the
selection chart. This is particularly true if you want to shoot a larger diameter shaft for target and 3-D archery.
When in doubt, choose a stiffer arrow shaft.
1. For compound bows with IBO speed rating between 290-315 FPS shot with a release aid, use the selection
chart as specified.
2. For compound bows with IBO speed rating between 315-350 FPS shot with a release aid, chose at least one
box to the stiffer side (to the right) for your recommended arrow. Example : If your draw weight is 72 Ibs and
your arrow length is 29", select a shaft from group number five.
3. For compound bows with IBO speed rating between 315-350 FPS shot with a release aid, chose at least one
box to the stiffer side (to the right) for your recommended arrow. Example : If your draw weight is 72 Ibs and
your arrow length is 29", select a shaft from group number 2 or 3.
Compound Bows - With Finger Release
When shooting finger release, start by selecting an arrow 2 boxes to the weake side (to the left). Start with the
arrow 1" longer than you selected and cut it down 1/4 " at a time until you have a perfecttly tuned shaft using
the bare shaft tuning method outlined in the back of the Gold Tip product catalog and the Arrow University
section of the Gold Tip website (www.goldtip.com)
Traditional Recommendations
1. If you are shooting a recurve/longbow, first establish the draw weight of the bow at the length you draw it to.
This is best accomplished by bringing the bow to full draw and having a friend mark the arrow where it
intersects the outside of the riser.
2. Next draw the bow with a bow scale to your mark to simulate holding it at full draw. Note draw weight at full
draw. You can then accurately use the selection chart as indicated below. Arrow length should be measured
from the throat of the nock to the end of the insert, not necessarily from the mark you made to measure your
draw weight. It is recommended that your finished arrow be at least 1" longer than the mark you made to
establish your draw weight.
3. For either longbow or recurve, start with the arrow at least 1" longer than your desired finished arrow and
cut the shaft down 1/4" at a time until you establish a perfect tune using the bare shaft tuning guide found in
the back of the Gold Tip product catalog. You can use the Gold Tip weight system to fine tune the spine
reaction and increase the mass weight of the arrow.
