They do make a 125Gr. head!!

RE: OVER-Spined?
 

And where did you get this info? It wasn't at the ATA show, nor was it an option when we placed our order for the heads a couple weeks ago ;)

RE: OVER-Spined?
 

IMO, the hunting arrow that will tune best with your hunting bow would be the best.

If someone mentions an arrow as being over-spined, then I would assume that the arrow is giving a stiff reaction to the bow at centershot (I'm assuming compound), and therefore would not be the best arrow to use. The arrow fletchings would have to correct the flight to some degree.

2-blade 125gr head?

Bob....

At 310fps.....and under 20yds......tell me what happens when you're overspined.

Curious!

RE: OVER-Spined?
 

GMMAT I've always wondered the same thing. My arrows are borderline overspined for my setup two , and I've never had any problems tuning or getting good fixed blade broadhead flight.

I think alot of the things that we take as gospel come from the days of finger shooting and plunger rests.Back then, you had to have a properly spined arrowto account for "archers paradox" and to allow the fletching to clear the riser/rest.

Nowadays, witha mechanical release and a string loop and a dropaway rest, I'm sure you can get away with alot stiffer arrows than you could otherwise out of a hunting bow.

I've asked this question alot on archerytalk, and I never really got a satisfactory answer. Just a bunch of dated rhetoric.

RE: OVER-Spined?
 

I'm sure you are in a better position to answer your own question. I was just giving my opinion. ;)

RE: OVER-Spined?
 

If you're getting an overspined reaction, do you consider your bow to be tuned?

Do you need a tuned bow to shoot 20 yards?

I did.

RE: OVER-Spined?
 

Bob....I'm asking because I don't know.

The question I asked has a caveat, though. IF you're pushing WAY enough to send the arrow.....say 310fps.......will the overpined be a non-issue?

I think that's a fair question....and not just looking at overspined generically.

RE: OVER-Spined?
 

I Agree!;)
