[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 270624, member: 7999"] Michael is right. You must have the correct spine. Archers paradox is the bending of the shaft as it leaves the bow. If the spine is too stiff you will have trouble with the arrow planing, especially with a broadhead installed. You want to have at least 10% front of center weight. Meaning: if you balance your arrow on your finger the balance point should be at least 10% of the arrow length to the front of the center point of the shaft length. More front of center like 15% is in my opinion ideal. You need enough weight in the tip to lead the arrow to the target. Not the arrow pushing the tip. Use a 125g broad head and a properly tuned arrow for your bow and draw, and accept the speed that you get. Don't sacrifice proper tune for extra speed. Use the resources that are available from the arrow manufacture. Do you have a good pro shop in your area? This is a whole other subject. There are not very many good ones. Use the arrow manufacture for solid advice on how to set up a properly spined arrow. Last word, aluminum is easier. Good luck, Steve [/QUOTE]
