Hey AUSIE if he went to say 64lbs or so in draw weight would'nt that help with the stiffer spined arrow too.

Sorry so i guess that means i should also look into the ICS Beman 500 at 7.3 gpi?

Thanks a lot Ausie i guess i will probably get the arrow cut to 29in with 388 grains of arrow weight. I think the Cardiac bottoms out at around 63 pounds so i might try to increase my weight a little as well.

The best thing to do to save a lot of headaches in the futiure would be to spend the $40 and get Archers Advantage.

Even tho it cost 40 bucks you will save money in the long run by selecting an arrow then running it through the program as opposed to going out buying 1/2 dozen arrows only to find out they are no good to your set up
The program has a lot of stuff in it from arrow selection to balistic charts to printing off sight tapes and markings.

You could also download On Target 2 and try it out free for ten days to see if you like it. Later if you wanted to buy it you can do that for 24.95 U.S. I just ran your figures through it and I agree with Aussie , the 500's areunderspined. But a match i did find would be your bow at 60 lbs., 27 inch arrow and draw length. Going with the Beman ICS hunters in 400 spine with a 125 grain head plus insert using 2 inch blazers Your FOC would be 13.95 % , the arrows would weigh in at 400 grains with a KE of 59.4 lbs. THis setup ran you in the middle of the green zone so you would still be able to up your draw weight to 63 lbs and still be in the green zone although it will be in the lower end of the green zone. Aussie guy see if AA comes up with those figures if you would. I am still getting used to OT2 so I could possibly be making a mistake on it.
