The heavy head will allow you to shoot with wet feathers at reasonable ranges. How is that for tuning? By the way, checking the spine on an arrow has nothing to do with the weight of an arrow. If you don't understand how spineing an arrow is done, buy aluminum it is already done for you. The different weights of an arrow really do not matter that much for hunting. If you stick with the same type of wood the shafts will be close enough in weight to each other. If you bought real scrap shafts, the weight may vary from end to end. I always balance them in the middle on something real thin and the heavy end is the head end. None of this is tuning. It is being a bow hunter. If you don't have the interest to learn how to do these things on your own, stay out of the woods and shoot on target ranges. I think I have had enough "Tuning" lessons for now.
New trad hunters, stay clear of this info.. Someone has no clue what they are talking about.
