VermontHunter Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: arrow spine guide? [ QUOTE ] easton would have one but I don't think you will find one as accurate as the current computer programs like the one I have....I now look at easton arrow charts and laugh, laugh I say!!!!!!!!! I even laugh at gold tip's chart, laugh, laugh I say!!!!!!!! let me know what you need...I might could help ya out.......... [/ QUOTE ] Let's put that program to the test shall we... I shoot with an Alpine Fatal Impact, that is set at 60lbs. and the draw length is 29" I'm usiing Gold Tip Expedition 5575's black shafts that are cut to 29 3/4" from nock to insert. The broadhead I use is the NAP Spitfire 100gr. mechanicals and I use 4" Duravanes and 4" NAP Quick Spins, and 3 fletch straight configuration. Is this the shaft spine that I should be using ??? I sure hope so.... Thanks doc for the added info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: arrow spine guide? Thanks JB, I thought the shafts were a touch long but the pro shop said no...so in your opinion should I get alittle bigger shaft and sacrifice some speed ???

dogdoc Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: arrow spine guide? vermont---can you shorten the arrows a little and still be ok with your rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: arrow spine guide? Im sure I could loose about 1/4" without any trouble. I could do a full draw and have my father check to see exactly how much I could loose. Thanks for the help guys I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: arrow spine guide? J.B. I don't know why but it seems that anything over 40yrds. with this Alpine set a 60# the arrows are all over the place. I've tried different vanes and configurations with no results, so anything that is over 30yrds. isn't a option for a shot, I just won't chance it. I did a full draw with the help of my father and he says that I could loose 1/2" easily and can't figure out why the proshop cut these that long. This really ticks me off sounds like some cutting time is in order and resighting. I may hold of tho since I'm considering a new sight and rest..

I'm almost 100% sure loosing a 1/2" of shaft would do nothing about the long shot problem I'm having, but would this help with the spine issue ??

dogdoc Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: arrow spine guide? vermont---we'll check with JB but I don't think just removing 1/2 inch will really help either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Re: arrow spine guide? Yikes...didn't want to hear that... Man this sport is getting exspensive...I don't mind the demanding part of it, but the money part is going to get me divorced. Much more nad I just might have to give Archery up...

VermontHunter Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Re: arrow spine guide? Thanks J.B. I really appreciate your time and help on my Bow setup...Distance isn't really an important issue with me, tho we all like to be more accurate at longer shots. My main issue is SAFTEY, which is always the most important thing with me. I want a shaft that is designed for my Bow, if it means buying heavier shafts then it's a done deal... My rest that I'm using at this point is a TM Hunter Micro, but want to switch to the Whisker bisquit. I'm not a target shooter I'm a hunter first and this type rest seems to be better suited for my needs. As for the broadhead the NAP Spitfire is a long furreled head,but I like it's performance and seem comfortable with it. So I guess overall I need to purchase some heavier spined shafts and be safe, and who knows this may help with my long shot issues.. again thanks for your time.... Dang it this was my first season with a Bow and now I'm addicted so giving it up isn't a option....there's always a solution to a problem...
