Google Stu's spine calculator and download it it's pretty dam good.

Kodiak, Kodiak Hunter, Kodiak Magnum?  Just curious, that's all 8^).    Dacron string?  Arrow length?  You know the drill....David.

If you have a 28" draw and shooting a 29" arrow, then a 50/55....with dacron string, providing for 125/145 grain heads.  Heavier heads and longer arrows require a stiffer spine.

I'm with George, 50/55, but then, my friend Bill C. knows lots more about arrow making than I do   :notworthy:
