The arrow charts don't add up for me ! Help
 
I have a shaft selection issue I need help resolving. I am currently shooting Carbon express shafts. They are the CX select 3-D 400's. According to the charts, they weigh in at 8.6 grains / inch. But I know I am way over spined. The chart says I should be shooting a CX200, which weighs in at 7.0 g/i. Spine's of both are unknown.

The problem is that I am swithcing to Easton A/C/C's. The chart calls for 3-49 shafts @ 8.8 g/i with a .390 spine.

Now, According to the Easton chart, and comparing that to the CX select chart, the weight of my 400's would be right CX = 8.6 , A/C/C = 8.6. But the charts say I am over-spined. And if I wanted a lighter arrow, could I shoot an A/C/C in the 7.0 g/i and be ok? Like I said the CX chart says I should be in a CX select 200.

How much weight are you pulling, what is the draw length, what kind of vanes will be on the back, and how much will the points weigh?

55 lbs. - 28 1/2 inches - Blazer vains - 100 gr. muzzy 3 blade.

But I have already plugged the numbers in, and that's the problem. The Easton chart says 3-49 for the A/C/C's. But the Carbon Express chart says 200's. The A/C/C's come in at 8.8 gpi with a ,390 spine. But the Carbon express shafts come in at 7.0 gpi with an unknown spine. I was shooting the CX 400 's and was way over spined and they came in at 8.6 gpi.

If you are switching to the A/C/C's the 3-49 spine should be fine.

And don't worry about the weight, it has nothing to do with spine. It may have a little to do with FOC but as far as spine, the weight of the shaft has nothing to do selecting which shaft you need.
