I'd say you could shoot the 400's, but if the 340's are shooting fine and you have them. Just Git-R-Done!!

AA does not list the 101 so I used the 82nd.

Ran your numbers and it say's you are slightly weak.

I will pm the snap shot of the chart it is too big to upload here.

That's longer than I expected! I shoot a 27" arrow with a 28" draw.

I would suspect you are overspined with the 340's. Try a bare shaft - see ifit hits the target angle left.

Well, only one way to tell. Knock off those vanes off one or two. Go out at 30 yards, and shoot the bare and the fleteched, and see where they hit.

Sent you another PM

You can cut the shaft from the back but you will have to re-fletch them.
