Default RE: need help with carbons

ccarp00, just a hunch, but I'd recommend you add the weight you need (and probably much more so) up front in the form of heavier broadheads, heavy steel glue on screw in adapters or a heavy brass insert, or possibly all 3.

Carbons seem to shoot much stiffer out of trad bows than their rated spine range suggests. I'm shooting 250 grains up front on my CE terminator 4560s from a 45# recurve, and am getting great flight. My finished arrow weight is 12 grains per pound (last year out of my compound I was right at 5... Man how times have changed )

Have you bare shaft tested your gold tips? Do your field tipped arrows hit the same point as your broadheads? If not, how do they differ?
