Thanks for all the input fellas. I never thought to clean the inside of the point. I'm sure that would certainly help. Even after 7-8 years there is still a learning curve......

You'd probably be happiest with POC or Sitka Spruce for a lower weight bow.  Whatever you do get top quality shafts.  Arrow shafts are not the place to try to save a buck IMO.

Sitka Spruce hands down. Light and amazingly durable for such a light wood.

Kustom King is selling a German spruce shafting. I just bought a dozen shafts and they were very light for raw shafts. The grain was very straight.

Diminishing returns in what medium. Animals or foam. IMO, You won't get better penetration from a light wood arrow than you will those 585gr carbons. Unless your carbon arrow is poorly tuned.
