OK so i took what people have been telling me about weight in a carbon arrow for my long bow and ordered the 8 Gr/In. weight tubes. Heres my figures, tell me if im going to be in the ball park- Im shooting a 55# Martin howatt 28'' draw, i had 5575 GT's that with tips weighed 362.8, way to light from what i have been told. So i ordered the tubes witch should put my arrow weight around 595 gr. with 125 gr. tips. Is that still to light? will the spine still be too stiff? I also ordered 145 gr. tips to try to weaken the spine a little if it is. witch would put my weight aroound 615 Gr.
Think this will put me where i need to be?
Supposally the weight tubes do not affect spine. You need more wieght on those tips. I am betting 175-200gr. If it was me, I would aim for 10gr/lb with the heavier tips. Your arrow flight will not improve until you get heavier tips regardless of tubes or no tubes.
