spine charts driving me crazy!!
« on: March 01, 2007, 02:08:00 PM »
I am currently shooting 56# with a 30 1/2"  2216 arrow with a 150 grain head. I also use this same arrow for my other bow that is 51# @ my draw length. This arrow flies great from both in my opinion. I don't remember which chart I used to come to this set up. Now, some one tells me to check some other charts, and it looks like I'm over spined. Many charts are recomending I should shoot 2018's  I don't want to mess with what is working, but i want to do the right thing as well . I wouldn't mind adding more weight up front, but can't figure out how to do all the crazy math. Charts are making me nuts. Any suggestions please?
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

I finally listened to to ohers here.
Easiest way it to get a couple bare shafts of each with the points you want and paper shoot till you you see bullets holes, slightly weak. You will have your answer at the end.
I thought I was shooting pretty decent until I recently paper shot. I moved my kock and even made me improve on my anchor point. At the end of the evening with added fletching I had never shoot so well, even the bad releases were in there.

Sounds like you've got a set-up that works just fine.  Shooting any arrow that "flies great" is "doing the right thing".
Sometimes it's fun to try different shafts, weights, points, etc. but don't let it drive you nuts!
I'm only as good as my first shot.
