Shaft Spine too stiff

My arrows are stiff by .020 according to OnTarget2. I just went to the archery place and tested my draw weight and it is 66.3. I am shooting 28.5 inch XT Hunter 7595 with a 125 grain tip. Switchback XT at 29"

RE: Shaft Spine too stiff

For hunting it is better to have shafts a little stiff anyway so that is why OnTarget2 showed it like that when you had the box checked for "target".

RE: Shaft Spine too stiff

I'd rather have the .02 stiff than dead on.

As RB stated you are better off being a little stiff for hunting. It aids in the arrow's penetration due to less loss from the arrow deflecting on impact.
