Locate your Calculated Peak Bow Weight in that column.
 ecurve Bows and Modern Longbows. In the Actual Peak Bow Weight
R
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 factoring in 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
bowquickly and easily. Target Shaft Selection Charts are now available online at
www.eastonarchery.com.
1. 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.

Place where arrow contacts most

forward portion of the arrow rest.

Mark arrow here.

Note: To determine weight at your shaft length, multiply the grains-per-inch (gpi) by your actual shaft length not including
point, insert or UNI bushing.

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.

Variables to Standard Setup for compound bows

Point weight over 100 grains Add 3 lbs. for each 25 grains
heavier than 100 grains.
Bows with brace heights less than 6 Add 5 lbs.

Correct Target Arrow Length

2.

Determining Actual Peak Bow WeightCompound 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 6

If your setup differs from the Standard Setup, use the Variables (following) to
make adjustments to determine the Calculated Peak Bow Weight so the correct
arrow size can be selected on the chart.

Finger release Add 5 lbs.

3. Determining Actual Peak Bow WeightRecurve 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.
