Guys I need help with chosing a correctly spined shaft.
« on: February 08, 2007, 03:13:00 PM »
I've been at this for some time and I thought I finnally had it but I dont, im still overspined with a xx75 Gamegetter II light 2016 shaft at 29". Im shooting a Hoyt Gamemaster II somewhere around 50lbs, maybe a hair under. I've tried a gillion shafts, and spent a gillion dollars but no matter what I cant seem to get it right. What easton alluminum shaft do you recommend for my setup? What shaft and what length? Im shooting 125gr fps. Thanks for any help, I need to get this thing straitened out.

Forgot to mention that eastons arrow charts dont seem to be worth a crap, and neither does my dealers recommendations. So im asking basked on experence here, rather then just chart numbers. Thanks.

I have taken those easton gamegetters in a 2016 and made them fly out of bows from 45 to 65 pounds by adjusting length of shaft, and tip weights. Try shooting heavier and lighter tips to see if they fly better.  that is a quicker test then cutting down the length.

I've tried point weight in the extreames both ways no help. However, I just found a full length 2117 xx75 cammo hunter with a 125gr field point that shot absolute perfect bullet holes. Does that sound right? Should I go with this shaft? Or should they be a little spine weak with bare shafts?

Adjust your brace hight by twisting your string. I just fixed a arrow flight problem by doing this. Work at it till you find the sweet spot.
