Been shooting easton epic arrows with their stock fletching through the WB for years with no rips, tears or wrinkles.
Again, I usually have no problem tunign a bow, like you I can eye balling it up and it's already shooting bullet holes.
I'll try something stuffer than the cabelas 400 arrows he is using but my bow shooting the same weight shoots them great.
Not necessarily.....
If he has slight torquing issues, then you literally need to tune it to his issues, and his hands. You can get it close by YOU shooting it, but screw on some BH's and have him shoot them at 40yds, and see how close they are to FP's....... I'd suspect they ain't gonna be close, unless the bow has been tuned with HIM shooting it. I've set up bow for a few different people, even a left handed bow, and gotten them CLOSE, but there still was enough variation in form from my hands to theirs that a small amount of tweaking needed done, surprisingly the LEFTY bow was as close as anything I'd set up.....
Getting away from the 400 spine arrows definitely will help, but again, for me and for a LOT of people, paper tuning really has become a method of tuning that is getting bypassed because it's usefulness really isn't there anymore.
Probably the BEST set-up for that bow is gonna be w/ a .340 spine at 29.5" and a 125gr tip to get the spine "perfect," then at that point, tuning would be much easier. It's hitting a "tweener" spot where its just too stout to get a .400 spine to work at that DL and weight, and you need extra length and tip wt. to weaken the spine of a .340 to make tuning a bit more simplified. The tears you're getting are EXTREME, and sound like something MORE than just spine, which is another reason, I'll most of the time lean toward a STIFFER spine, and tweak the set-up, as I can almost ALWAYS get a bow to shoot ok w/ a stiff spine, but I've had set-ups that w/ a weak spine, I could drive myself crazy trying to accomplish what I needed to. Good Luck with it.
