celticjedi - 12/8/2005 1:33 PM On a similar vein, I've got a W+W Evolution 34# and XX75's @2016. Is it worth getting better arrows, or should I wait until I upgrade my bow? Also can anyone recommend a good stabiliser setup? Should I get both rod and bars at the same time? A lot of people seem to use the Beiter ones with the moveable weights, are they a pain to setup?
</p>

XX75 are very good arrows and I believe hold one indoor world record. Outdoors they are not so great because they are heavier and fatter. Many 1300+ scores have been shot with allows but the draw weight was well over 50 pounds for those guys. Unless you can shoot well better arrows wont really give you anything except extra distance. WHat are your scores at the moment?</p>

People move the beiter weights but its not really reccomended, Beiter have done a lot of research and unless you feel you know better its usually best to leave them. Most stabilisers are good enough. Some of the Chinese taipei team in Athens shot basic cartel arrangements and they got very far.</p>

A general setup for club archers is a 4 inch extended, flat 90 degree vbar, 8-10 inch twin rods and a 26-30 inch long rod. As you get over 40 pounds a 5 inch extender may be better. Alternatively if you prefer no extender as is the trend is eastern europe they use a 8-10 inch short rod to the top riser bushing to get the balance back forwards.</p>

Some archers use just a longrod and a back weight, popular with some americans. Personally I would prefer the first setup. It looks better and is chosen by 'most' of the best archers.</p>

I dont think a Beiter setup will shoot any better than a Cartel, it will just feel a little different and maybe not look as good. A Cartel is good for 1300 and thats miles better than most of us </p>
