Default RE: will someone run this?

Before you can properly choose a shaft, you need to figure out how much weight you want on the front. Some people want to keep the shaft light and don't care if they lose stability to get it. Others (like myself), want a lot of weight up front and I put very heavy tips on my arrows. I want a very high FOC.

A lot of weight up front will weaken the spine, so you need a stiffer arrow. There are a large number of combinations that will work. When you throw carbons into the mix, you can obtain even higher FOCs, making the options almost endless.
