.400 spine would put you in the ball park if you put some weight out front.  What's the center cut of your bow, and how much do your inserts and points weigh?  Also, string count and material can factor in.

Mike, What I've been reading the 600 spine might be a better set up on my bow.. More research seems my bow is not cut past center. Got a fast flight string, an if I remember correctly it's 12 or 14 strands !

What do your points and inserts weigh as this will determine wether to go with a 400 or 340 spine.
