    Default Need a little arrow help

    I'm still trying to find the perfect arrow for my 1 7/8" 185gr SilverFlames. I had the trial version of OT2 and ran the #'s a while back and I got some full length .300 spine Victory HV's, but I think they're a little too stiff. I talked to Michael yesterday and he said some of them were MUCH stiffer...closer to .200 than .300, so that may be the problem, I'm not sure. Could somebody please run the #'s and offer some suggestions for me? 30 1/4" GTO, 62#, 185gr 2 blade broadhead.

    Aren't you shooting a 60lb GTO??? I have always found that Elite bows really prefer stiffer arrows than you would think. If you want weight and spine for those bad boy Silver Flames (I have 3 of them too) I would suggest a 300 spine in either the Easton Axis N-Fused or Full Metal Jacket. That is what I'm going to try with those broadheads. I shoot ACC 3-60/340's with my 60lb GTO and are fly great. Thus my suggestion for a stiffer spine.

    I went ahead and bough OT2 last night and spent an hour or so running #'s. The .300 spines are perfect according to it. I'm not sure what the problem is. I ordered a G5 ASD and will square everything up and see if that helps. If not, I'll start moving the rest a little, but my other arrows are shooting so good I'm kinda hesitant to fool with it.

    I'm getting a left tear with these arrows and thought that was evidence of too strong of a spine.
