OnTarget 2 Shaft Selection - What I am going to buy..just making sure this time :)

Well we checked it out and my arrows I had will work for my friend this year. So he bought them off me.

I am going to the same store I bought my arrows at, just because it is the only place in town that sells raw Gold Tips.
I used the program listed in the title. And it shows that my spine will be right on where it needs to be with a 7595 with blazers and a 100 grain tip. I am kind of pissed that I need a dozen..but I guess I won't be worrying about arrows for a while.

Thanks for all the help to those guys that have given their knowledge on the subject in my other posts...I would have never known had I not come on this site that I was shooting an arrow that was way too weak. Because all the charts, and stuff that I found on the internet were having conflicting information.
Again, I just want to say thanks a lot.

I was just wondering if I should put the inserts and stuff in myself. Somebody had talked about arrow tuning. I guess I don't know all what that involves. But I have read before that you should square the ends on all your shafts before putting the inserts in or something like that.

Funny Guy huh....when I first started reading I was like...what now. haha, well I am going to go pick them up and get em all set up tonight. Hopefully have her all tuned up and ready to get all sighted in tomorrow. My goal is to shoot a deer at 70 yards this year.

So I went and picked up some arrows. Get home take them out and the nocks are glued in? Do you glue your nocks in place, will it cause a problem? So much for hunting with lumenocks I guess?

I don't think the guy even knew what he was doing it took him forever to cut them down and 2 other guys came back to help. One guy came out and asked me what poundage my bow was. I told him 70. Then he said oh, I thought maybe it was heavier because of the 7595's. I was thinking about buying a 90 pounder, was just wondering what they are like to pull....I think I am done with that place.

If they glued the nocks in I would take them back. There is no reason to glue nocks in on carbon arrows. And yes, find a new shop.

Done deal, and I am disapointed in every archery shop around here. There is one left to check out..but it looks to be high school kids just workin to make some money. Hopefully theres somebody in there that actually gives a crap.

Perfect excuse to start doing it all on your own.
