Easton Arrow Equation:
| From: | To: |
The Easton Arrow Calculator helps archers determine the appropriate arrow spine group based on draw weight, arrow length, and point weight. Proper arrow selection is crucial for accuracy, safety, and optimal bow performance.
The calculator uses the Easton arrow selection formula:
Where:
Explanation: The equation calculates the appropriate arrow spine group based on the input parameters, referencing Easton's proprietary charts and formulas.
Details: Selecting the correct arrow spine is essential for accuracy, consistency, and safety. Arrows that are too stiff or too weak can affect flight characteristics and potentially damage equipment.
Tips: Enter draw weight in pounds, arrow length in inches, and point weight in grains. All values must be valid positive numbers.
Q1: Why is arrow spine important?
A: Arrow spine affects how an arrow flexes when shot, impacting accuracy, consistency, and safety. Proper spine matching ensures optimal arrow flight.
Q2: What are typical spine group values?
A: Spine groups typically range from 300 to 800, with lower numbers indicating stiffer arrows. The appropriate group depends on your specific setup.
Q3: How does point weight affect arrow selection?
A: Heavier points require stiffer arrows (lower spine numbers), while lighter points work better with more flexible arrows (higher spine numbers).
Q4: Are there limitations to this calculator?
A: This calculator provides an estimate. For precise selection, consult Easton's official arrow selection charts and consider factors like bow type and shooting style.
Q5: Should I round my measurements?
A: Use exact measurements for best results. Rounding draw weight, arrow length, or point weight can affect the accuracy of the spine recommendation.
