That actually helps a lot to know McDave. I was wondering if I could cut them cut and just tune based upon spine and point weight.

Your help is tremendous!

Your pic above shows a bunch of holes, you said you have different spines. Does one spine produce a better hole than the other spines? I would start with those and different point weights.

I also shoot a 40# Sage and shoot the arrows below. I'm self-taught and after all these years, I can tune, and they match Stu's Calc. My nock point is set at 5/8". This gives me about a 3/4 inch vertical on paper, but going up or down increases the cut, so it stays. My bareshafts also hit where these hit. My philosophy of paper tuning is I use for basic settings to "get close", then go to bareshaft, then to broadhead tuning.

Gold Tip Trads 15/35 29.5” .600
5/16” 100 gr. field point or Magnus Stingers
12.1  gr.  Accu-Lite Insert
11.5  gr.  GT nock
3x5” left wing feathers
Dynamic Spine:  56.8
Total weight = 371
GPP:  9.0
FOC:  12.7%
