Oh dude! It’s a game changer! I used to squint and hope that somewhere “between line three and four” was 45 yards. Single pin really makes shots so much more consistent once you’re calibrated.

I used to shoot Easton 800 spine arrows when my draw weight was between 20-30#. With my Altus, my local archery shop recommended a 600 spine for my 43# bow. Currently using Easton Venture arrows. My archery friends have arrows which range from 400-320 spines with 45-55# bows.

I’m not sure how much the length matters beyond comfort/weight shedding since less arrow means lighter arrow. My shop cuts them to an appropriate length that works for me, so if your length works, the important part really is the strength of the spine and giving your old arrows a good flex to check em and make sure there aren’t any cracks. Don’t want anything exploding!

If you do have a nice, local shop, I highly recommend stopping by to ask for suggestions or getting your arrows cut down if needed!

Edit: Also, if it helps, I have a pretty short draw length too. I think it’s between 27”-28”. If you check out “arrow spine chart” from different manufacturers, they also have spine recommendations depending on arrow length.

Woot! Ty!

Gasp. I second this!

43! :D I actually started on a Bear bow (a friend’s hand-me-down cause we’re both lefties) with 7 lbs a year ago and worked my way up. It’s been such a game changer upgrading to an Altus with a single pin sight!

Eyyyy! We have the same bow! 💪🔥

The caterpillars might wander if food is low on the plant or when they want to make a chrysalis they often crawl off the plant.

Are your plants in the ground or in pots? Just curious cause I’ve had aphid problems across all of mine but never ants since I grow mine solely in pots.

There’s a YouTube series about monarch butterflies by a guy called Mr. Lund who experimented with using powdered cinnamon at the base of the plant to discourage ants. It does require regular reapplication. Could be worth a try?

Usually the ants are there because they love the sap that aphids make so if there are ants, there are bound to be aphids. You can get rid of aphids by crushing them with your fingers (gotta check to make sure no first instar caterpillars are hiding nearby) or hosing them off the plant.
