Easy, greasy. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning Adams? BTW, for the record, I spent half "a grand" on my bow.
My bed is situated so I can only get out on the wrong side. The get up on the right side I'd have to climb over my pregnant wife[:-], it's just not worht the hassle

I just hate to see someone buy a top of the line bow and then skimp on arrows. It dosen't matter how well set up a bow is if you shooting bad arrows that aren't straight, that's all. Sorry if I typed a little Loud.

You don't have to buy the top brand of any arrow.(gold tip pro etc) You will not see a difference of an arrow that is .006 starightness and one that is .001 straightness. I you don't plan on shooting a dot competition out to 50 yrds, the arrows with a .006 straightness are the way to go. You will never notice a difference

before I decided to go into the archery business i bought lots of shafts off ebay, after I cut them and spun them with the tips installed most were perfect. i now get shafts from the source and out of a dozen most of the time only two were not perfect to shoot at a live amimal but were good the shoot at a target. as for the spine most people do not even paper tune them to see if they are even good for their bow setup, I paper tune all the time because things change all time, heat ,cold, string stretch, weight, lot of things can effect the spline, just find a good brand and experiment, I went thru 5 different brands before settled on 1 that worked for me

You can get up on the other side of the bed if you really put your mind to it Adams, but you may not have a place to sleep the next time you try crawling back INTO bed. lol
