Spine charts and arm-chair quarterbacking should get you in the ballpark. In the end though, no two finger shooters are exactly alike, especially when holding the full draw weight.

Individual release will have as much effect on bow tuning as anything else. Take two guys with the exact same draw length. To shoot the exact same bow they'dd often need completely different arrows.

In the ende there's only one way to know for sure. Start off with "something", and go from there. Some times you get lucky and hit it dead on with the first try. Often though, it's a matter of trial and error.

If memory serves, the Vapor 4000's spine the same as the Beman 340's, which I was shooting out of a Chek-Mate HunterII pulling 65# @ 32" with 125 grain heads. They also fly well out of my 57# @ 32" Palmer (which is a little scarey). You might find they are a little stiff for you, in which case you can get the adjustable inserts and the PDP weights to bump up the tip weight (Kustom King now sells them).

Buy a half dozen at first. That way if they aren;t right, you're only out half as much.
