Lady Arwen-

Good for you! Busting nocks at 30 is what you want to strive for! When you get good at that, then go for 40! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

For my tournament arrows I match weigh every component of my arrows after floating them to find the high spine, to which I apply the cock vane. (Tru-Flite Pro-Series shafts come with the cock vane on the high spine also if you don't feel like playing with them) Nocks are usually all dead-on, if so I install them and weigh my cut-to-length shafts with them. Then I seperately weigh my vanes so all three match per shaft. I then fletch the match-weighed shafts with the match-weighed vanes. Then come the points, all matched, then installed on the matched arrows. When I'm all done I weigh them again, and put aside any that are not within a grain.

Yes, we may all be nuts, but I like to think that anything you can do to help make youself more confident in your equipment will make you a better archer. Works for me! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Good shooting, Pinwheel 12

Edit-- Almost forgot! I usually run within two boxes lighter on the easton target/field/shaft guide for target applications. My best combinations usually run one box lighter, (50-55 for instance instead of 55-60) and I carry a FOC of right around 8% for all of my arrows. Good luck!
