10 Arrow Selection Chart Determining Correct Arrow Length The Correct Arrow Length for any type of bow (including bows equipped with overdraws) is determined by drawing back an extra-long arrow and having someone mark the arrow one inch in front of where the arrow contacts the arrow rest. Correct Arrow Length for hunting arrows with broadheads shot from bows with cut-out sight windows (including overdraws). Mark arrow here. Correct Arrow Length 1" clearance (minimum) Place where arrow contacts most forward portion of the arrow rest. Correct Arrow Length is measured from the bottom of the nock groove to the end of the shaft for hunting arrows and target/field arrows shot from any bow. Determining Actual Peak Bow Actual peak bow weight for recurve bows (measured at your draw length) and compound bows can be determined at your local archery pro shop. Determining Calculated Peak Bow The suggested shaft sizes on the Beman Arrow Size-Selection Chart were determined using a standard setup, which includes: Use of a release aid grain arrow point weight Compound bow with brace height greater than 6 ½" Tuning the Arrow Shaft Our Beman Arrow Size-Selection Chart indicates that more than one shaft size may shoot well from your bow. You may decide to shoot a lighter shaft for speed, or a heavier shaft for greater durability and penetration. Also, large variations in shooting style, bow efficiency, type of If your setup differs from the standard, use the variables listed below to make adjustments. Add or subtract the appropriate amounts to calculate the effective peak bow weight of your bow. Use this calculated peak bow weight to select your correct arrow size on the CHART. Variables to the standard setup: Finger release (using compound bow) add 5 lbs. Point weight over 100 grains add 3 lbs. Bows with brace height less than 6 ½ add 5 lbs. Using the Beman Arrow Size-Selection Charts 1. Once you have determined your Correct Arrow Length and Calculated Peak Bow, you are ready to select your correct shaft size: Compound bows- In the Bow column (left-hand side of the chart) select the column with the type cam on your bow. Then locate your Calculated Peak Bow in that column. Recurve bows- In the Bow column (right-hand side of the chart) locate your Actual Peak Bow at your draw length. 2. Move across that row horizontally to the column indicating your Correct Arrow Length. On the Beman Arrow Size-Selection Chart, note the letter in the box where your Calculated Peak Bow row and Correct 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 that best meets your shooting requirements. All Beman shafts use a spinedeflection number to determine size. wheels or cams, and type of release may require special bow tuning or a shaftsize change. Easton s Arrow Tuning and Maintenance Guide (available online at or call ) provides additional information on tuning. LIMITED WARRANTY The Beman arrow shaft limited warranty covers any defects in material and/or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. It does not cover damage caused by impact from another arrow, impact with hard objects, improper cleaning or fletching, or from normal wear. Warranty does not apply if damage results from any non-compliance of printed instructions. Arrow shafts that are defective will be replaced by your local dealer or by Beman.

11 ! WARNING FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY. SEE WARNINGS AND or 877-INFO-ETP. Warnings and Use Shaft Preparation and Assembly ARROW BREAKAGE An arrow shaft can become damaged from impacts with hard objects or other arrows, or after being shot into a game animal. A damaged arrow could break upon release and injure you or a bystander. You must carefully inspect each arrow shaft, nock and other components before each shot to see that they have not been damaged. Before shooting, place the arrow between your thumb and fingers, and using your other hand to slowly rotate the shaft, run your fingertips along the entire arrow length, feeling and looking closely for nicks, cracks, splits, dents, or other marks that could indicate the shaft has been damaged. 1. Grasp the shaft just above the point and below the nock, then flex the arrow in an arc (bending it away from you and others) with a deflection of one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm), and listen for cracking noises. Perform this test four to six times, rotating the arrow slightly between each flex until you have gone around the entire arrow. If you hear or feel cracking, the carbon has been damaged. 2. While still holding the point and fletching ends, twist the shaft in both directions. If the arrow relaxes or twists easily, the carbon has been damaged. If an arrow has been damaged, or if you believe it has been damaged, do not shoot it again, as it could break on release, and sharp arrow pieces could hit and injure you or someone nearby. BOWHUNTING PRECAUTIONS Carbon arrows may be used for hunting if special precautions are taken. Carbon arrow shafts used in bowhunting could break after being shot into a big game animal. This arrow breakage may be caused by the angle in which the arrow impacts the animal, or by the reaction of the animal itself such as rolling on the shaft or hitting against a tree. The break may be inside the animal and may not be immediately obvious after recovery of the animal. When a carbon arrow breaks, it tends to shatter with the resulting creation of many sharp, splinter-like fragments. These fragments can be harmful to humans if ingested; therefore, when game is recovered, the hunter should always carefully determine whether the arrow has broken inside the animal. If the arrow has broken, follow the instructions below: 1. Use extreme caution when removing broken segments of the carbon arrow shaft. 2. Use care to avoid splinters of carbon fiber when field dressing game animals. 3. Carefully remove the flesh in the area of the wounds. It may contain carbon fiber, particularly at the entry and exit points. 4. Thoroughly clean the surrounding area of the wound and inspect for the presence of carbon fragments. 5. Carefully dispose of any meat that might contain carbon splinters. Do not leave for scavengers to eat. SHAFT Preparation Cut shafts to length using only a high-speed abrasive wheel cut-off tool designated for arrow shafts. Never use rotary tube cutters, hacksaws or methods that can damage the shaft and leave a rough cut. Chamfer lightly the inside of the shaft, just enough to remove any burrs. Clean thoroughly the inside of the shaft with a cotton swab wetted with 91 to 99 percent isopropyl alcohol (not rubbing alcohol, which can contain oil). CAUTION: Always wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask and safety glasses when cutting any arrow shafts. Be sure to use a dust collector to vacuum up all of the dust when cutting arrow shafts. FOR C2 CARBON SHAFTS: EPOXY INSTALLATION OF COMPONENTS OR FOR INSTALLATION OF COMPOSITE INSERTS IN ALL TYPES OF SHAFT MATERIAL. 1. Easton or AAE brand epoxy or 3M DP hour cure flexible two-part epoxies are recommended. 2. Apply a small ring of adhesive, just inside the end of the shaft and a generous coating on the entire shank of the point or insert. 3. Slowly twist the point or insert into shaft and seat it against end of shaft. 4. Wipe off any excess adhesive with a cloth or paper towel. 5. Stand the shaft vertically on the point or insert to cure. Be sure epoxy does not flow into insert threads. 6. This is a permanent installation. Inserts cannot be removed without damaging the shaft. CARBON SHAFTS UNI BUSHING INSTALLATION 1. AAE Fastset or other gel-type cyanoacrylate cements are recommended. 2. Apply a thin ring of adhesive completely around the inside diameter of the shaft within 1 16" from the open end. 3. Insert UNI Bushing and quickly seat against end of shaft. 4. Stand shaft with UNI Bushing upright. HIT INSERT COMPONENTS See shaft preparation and assembly instructions packaged with HIT equipped models. Use Easton brand HIT 24-hour epoxy or Quick HIT 15-minute adhesive. Other adhesives not recommended and will void warranty Harold Gatty Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah (801) Fax (801) Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this catalog.
