over spined arrows
I understand why an underspined arrow is not good, but can someone explain why an overspined arrow is not good as well? Is it more than just poor flight? Also I heard that a heavier tip will lessen the spine.

RE: over spined arrows
A heavier tip will compress the arrow more on release. So you heard correct ... a heavier tip weakens the spine.
As far as underspined/overspined I'm till learning the dynamics myself.

Unless your shooting with a finger release - then you need the arrow to bend around your rest as it travels past it. Too stiff of an arrow and I think you will have rest contact problems
