My BH hit at 20 about 2" to the right of my FP. As the distances get further the seperation increases.
So in your program what length of an arrow (say the Maxium Hunter dual spine weight forward 450's) should I be shooting?
Does your software show an optimum arrow cut to 'x' length that would be the best spinned for my setup?
Two questions (again I apprecite all your insight, I am just trying to learn from this):
1- Does 1" of draw really cause this much change in spine? My cousin shoots 29" and has his arrows cut to 29" (same as mine) and he has zero issues?
2- How come their charts and another software program (I had asked on this forum, I will try and dig up the advice I received a while back) show that I should be fine?

Now if you had a 29" draw you would have to add 1" to the arrow length to compensate, so yes draw length makes a difference.

Hitting to the right is a weak reaction like Bulls said. I have OT2 and the 450's with a 100gr head cut to 29" shaft length, with blazer vanes should be dead on.

TFOX - Thanks for chimming in, I will try that.
Screamin - Thanks for taking the time to run that set up in your system. I guess I will have to purchase some new arrows.
Before I jump into the new shafts, does that system show a better spinned shaft or is it not set up like that? I have no issues spending the money, I would rather get it right the second time, LOL.
Thanks again for everyones help.

There is a big list of arrows to choose from but all of them are 300 spined shafts. From there it is just a matter of how heavy you want the arrow to end up? I'm partial to about 7 grs per pound myself but whatever works for you. If you tell me what weight you want to end up with, I could let you know what set ups to go with.

TFOX suggesteed I lower to poundage to see if that does anything. I lowered it 4.5 turns and kept my rest setting for BH and shot at 20 yards. I saw basically no results (maybe the FP came closer to the BH, but it was very slight).....
Could this mean I am that underspined or should I have seen different results?
