I have only had to vary once from AA to get a bow to tune and trust me when I say the bow was at fault.Eventat bow only required 3 sizes up if memory serves.


I quess the arrow manufactuers need to just make one really stiff arrow for all of of us,that seems to be what you are saying.


The question is can you get too stiff and the answer is yes.It is true that with todays equipment there is MUCH MORE room for error but you can still get too stiff.



Every bow/shooter style/will have a different line in the sand to what is too stiff.

What I am saying is that an arrow that is too stiff will not be able to utilize it's spine if the bow is not producing enough energy.


Will a piece of rebar absorb the energy a bow puts out? NO Or mabe it would be more correct to say it will absorb all of it and still be wanting more.Just a different way of looking at it. Maybe my terminology is off?

I am thinking of absorbing as using.


I too have my daughter shooting way stiff arrows but I can say with confidence that they are too stiff.I will be replacing them soon with arrows that are still too stiff but they will be closer to right.Atleast I will be able to get a decent tune for her and a good weight to hunt with.It is about compromise.
