Spine me please

FSUBIGMAC · 01-14-2009, 10:18 AM

Ok so I am going to be trying out some victory arrows soon -- and just wanted to double check on the spine. I know some of you have that program that can determine spine for ya so i thought I would get some opinions. The Victory website says i need a .350 spine. Specs will be: 60ish# (not sure what my new limbs will max out so we will just call it 60 for now), 29 in arrow, 100gr tip. Thanks for the help. Need anymore info just ask

Your spine is going to be the same, just how it deals with the spine depends on the tip wieght and length. Which victories will you be shooting?

Your going to be a tad stiff probably at .350 spine at 60lbs but a 125 tip would cure that.

Well I want to stay as close to 300 gr as possible -- although an extra 25 gr isn't going to kill me. For now I was looking at the Victory X-ringer HV5 OR the VX-22 HV5. Thanks BC -- let me know what ya come up with

Looks to be just a tad stiff, but if the bow comes in at 62lbs, it should be perfect. Your going be around 365gr.

See if you can find some 110 gr. tips, that puts you right on, but 100gr leaves you just a touch stiff. As long as it's a Target bow vs. a Hunting bow needing to shoot BH's, I'm not sure how much difference it may make. I know I'd try to be as close as possible with a hunting bow shooting BH's, but otherwise, I'm not sure how much difference it may make. I'm getting 327 on OT2 with a Victory X-Ringer HV 1 or 5.

Thanks guys-- If you look at victories chart I am so borderline its rediculous. If I go 28 inches they say 400 -- if I go 29 it says 350 -- thats at 60#. The problem is I have a 30 in draw so I don't think I can go 28 inches on the arrow. Is there any way or arrow to get between 300 and 310 gr total and still be spinned properly or am I just stuck? Thanks again fellas. I should not that these will be for target. Probably gonna get a new dozen for hunting later

My setup victory Xringer HV 350 V1's with3" duravanes and a 100gr. tip @28.5"weighed in at 308gr. I, like you shoot a 30" draw and at 60#'s the victories fly great. Dont be afraid to go with a heavier tip though. A little speed loss is nothing. ASA is only 280 anyway!
