Default Changed Arrows now Spine delema

Switched to 30" Easton 5mm FMJ and 150 grain points from 30" Easton Hexx, 400 spine with 100gr points. My bow is set at 50 lbs. Looking at the Easton spine chart, because I am now using 150 points I have to add 6 pounds. This changes my category to spine 340, 330, 320. What would be the best choice, or does it matter?

Your shooting a compound? Is 150 grain the insert and tip weight? If so, at 50lbs and 30” dl or shaft length you’ll have no trouble tuning 400’s.

Back 10ish years ago I shot 70lbs, 30” DL and 200 grains up front with 340’s. They tuned perfectly. I could easily shoot bare shafts, fixed blade broadheads and field tips into the same group at 70m.

Couple years later I moved up to 80lbs. Now I shoot the same DL and 200 grains up front with 300 spine arrows and it’s tuned perfectly.


Give your rig a try, tip weight has very little effect on spine with FMJ or straight carbon arrows shot from modern compounds. Especially if your shooting a release. Wood shafts shot off the shelf from a longbow with fingers, yea tip weight matters a lot more.
