I am shooting a RH BigJim Thunderchild which is marked 44# @ 28" (and my draw is 28"). I have recently switched over to Trad but when I hunted with a compound I really made a point to have a high FOC and heavy arrow. I like the way they fly, tune, sound, and kill.
With that said, I have been shooting some 30" GT Trad arrows in .500 spine and experimented with tip weight from 100gr to 200gr and still have a tail left issue (makes believe I am underspined).
SO... I am looking at purchasing some 400's cut to 29" and wanting to add quite a bit of weight up front. Ideally I'd throw a 200gr head on with at least a 20gr insert. If I do this will I need a stiffer spine? Possibly a 340? Also, I am VERY open to arrow recommendations! I'd like to for sure be over 500gr at a bare minimum, and I mean BARE minimum (i'd love to be in the 600's) Thank you for taking the time to read this... I know it's a topic that never ends.
