Well Wanabehunter, I would find out "everything" about that arrow. Spine wt, overall weight, position of nock relative to grain, fletching etc and make 200  ;D more, and check em, to end up with a doz. like it. Good luck.

If you can draw hold and be in complete controll,of that heavier weight,throughout the shot sequence,while maintaining good form,it is a good weight for you.If at any time durring that sequence,the bow weight is controlling that sequence,you are over bowed.Even if it is only a thought,Concerning the weight,it is a distaction to the shot.I have had many a person,come into the shop,determined to get a bow of x amount of weight and after going through my little draw weight tests,end up leaving with a bow of a lesser weight.I have yet,to have one of those customers come back and tell me i led them wrong.It has been my observation,at many shoots and archery events across the west,that a lot of  archers,Traditional and other,are overbowed.The Men you mention,in your post,were excellent shots because they worked on perfecting consistency in their form,and shot execution.

I am aware they worked very hard, im just thinking that maybe the change in arc ect may change they way you aim ect.. just a thought..not putting down any of them... well byron is kind of annoyingly cocky but still hes very good.

DB: I had been shooting just arrows made from dowels but when I considered being very accurate I decided to make my own quality arrows.. I got hand spined poc shafts in 3# range, a blitz fletch jig\feather chopper ect.. lessons learned: use dowels unless your hunting because poc breaks very quickly.. I even broke arrow with a rubber blunt today.. it hit the ground? no rocks just dirt...only been shooting it for afew days :'( im down to 2!\12 original arrows. I still need to get a spine tester, taper tool, grain scale, ect

Wanabehunter, where are you located, state that is. It is not in your profile.
