Corey, I agree with everything that 5-shot is suggesting.

On my setup with magnus, I use four 5" vanes with a helical. I shoot at 70 pounds with a 33" inch draw and my arrows are 33". I have used 2613 XX78 in the past with great result. I am currently trying out the XX75 2419's to see how they work. I also make sure that I have an FOC at 12-15%.

Another thing that I always suggest doing with Magnus is buying the traditional type heads (the ones that are ready for a cedar arrow), and instaling the 43 grain adapters with them myself. I have found that the adapter that is pre-installed by Magnus is usually a smaller version of the 43 grain adapter. The difference is that the adapter travels inside the head quite a lot more. This in turn will give you a better alignment. I also had some problems with the pre-installed adapter coming off when pulling them out of a 3d target. I alway epoxy the inserts on the head and spin check the heads while the epoxy is not dried so I can make adjustments if needed. Usually though, with the longer inserts, an adjustment is rarely needed. Hope that helps you.
