@Newhunter1 and @Blacksmith did y'all receive the kits? How is testing going?
 
I received mine. I got some set backs. I'll set this up on Thursday or I'll send them on their way.

Ok...I can send this off to the next person. Did check and my arrows do fly better with the 100 grain heads. Good to know.
 
I would love to get on the list if I can.

Are you guys just deciding on a spine and seeing what weight it shoots best or are you trying multiple arrow/weight configurations?
 
1. DroptineKrazy is recieving he 200-300 grain kit from gcr0003
2. @Blacksmith will be recieving the 200-300 grain kit from @DroptineKrazy when he is done
3. @TNbowhunter is receiving the 100-200 grain kit now and will recieve the 200-300 grain kit from blacksmith next.
4. @Tjraley2 , you would be 3rd in line to get the 200-300 grain kit or next in line to try the 100-200 grain kit. Which would like to try?

I needed new arrows anyway so I bought a dozen and went spine down. I went from 340s to 300s. I then had 5 of them cut in quarter inch increments from 30" up to 31", i.e 30, 30.25, 30.50, 30.75 and 31" (i left the rest full length while testing). I then shot the 200, 225, 250, 275, and 300 tips on each length arrow to find which flew the best. Essentially, I found what arrow length matched with what weight. I then chose what weight broadhead and insert I wanted to use i.e. I want a total weight up from of 250 grains; therefore, I want to go with a 100 grain insert and a 150 grain broadhead. Then, since I already shot all the arrow lengths and weights all I had to do was choose the arrow length that flew best with 250 total weight up front. For me this was 30.25".

I’ll wait on the 200-300 kit. Thanks!
 
Can I join in the fun? I’m more interested in the 100-200 kit. My new arrows come in this week depending on hold ups with usps.
