RE: arrow spine question.
According to OT2 that arrow is severely overspined. To get into the green zone you would have to shoot Carbon Express CX medallion with a spine rating of .464 or the CX 3D Select in the same spine. Even upping your point weight to 150 those arrows were still overspined.

They are not free but they do offer demo models. I beleive OnTarget and TAP both offer a demo model. And Ontarget was like 25 bucks to upgrade when I did it. And that was the full version, just the spine selector is cheaper than that I think.

RE: arrow spine question.
archer2 ive messed around on OT2 and it seems that if i take off my string silencers or even put less heavy ones on that these arrows will be closer to green, its in yellow instead of red. does this sound right to you. also i changed the sight, fletchings, peep weight, and nock weight to what i currently have and it somehow made a dramatic difference in my approprate spine, except for spothogg they didnt have the right on, only the hoggernaut but i figured close enough.

RE: arrow spine question.
With the OnTarget program you need to shoot an arrow through a crono to give it a manually obtained speed, which you use to adjust the calculated speed to match. Without doing this, the results are worthless.
