I snorted the fairy dust and learned a lot about tuning in the process. Insert tuning, nock tuning, spine combos for FOCs, Ashby’s penetration fundamentals, etc... then I had a small intervention.

Pretty much, engineers have busted their ass to create modern day bows so we can tune the bow to our choice of arrows. This eliminates the trial & error of selecting different weights up front as part of “the process”. You choose your desired spine, arrow, and FOC, then you tune your bow (probably with the help of a shop) for that arrow. (Note you still must tune your arrow via nock & insert)
I did exactly this. My bow (Hoyt Torrex) finally came in last week, I bought GT Hunter XT 300s, 100gr insert, 125 field tip. Got it shooting bullets in less than 20 minutes after all the initial centering & such that comes with a new bow.
517gr @ 28.5in
18% FOC
227-236fps
Zinger 4 fletch 6° Right Offset
I’m shooting great at my longest comfortable shot of 40yds.
Snort the fairy dust, but only as much as you need.
