RE: proper arrow spine info - relisted
Bigbulls is right and I should have caught the fact that you are shooting carbon express. As far as I'm concerned there should be an AMO standard for marking the spine on arrows. For what it's worth I think Easton/Beman are the only ones marked correctly, marking them with the actual spine deflection in inches.
That's the reason you have to always check the charts before buying arrows and do a little interpolating. So although I was right in my thinking I erred in not cross referencing my numbers to the carbon express. I'll try to be more astute next time.
And for what it's worth you just might get used to that lower poundage and enjoy it better.
Good luck with the healing process and don't overdo it.
