Arrow setup

Am I the only one whos never had luck with the calculators?
Also what arrow weights you all running? From the shafts everyone is running they must be heavy! I shoot at full length easton aftermath 400 full length, with a 125 grain head (standard insert). Shooting a DX5 dalaa at 56 at 29, and they bare shaft perfect, with great broadhead flight.
They come in at 450ish grains and never had a problem on elk or hogs. Not the best if the only thing you want is penetration but by far the best for me overall. After tuning an arrow I shoot it and keep notes on the range, shooting at unknown yardage out to 45/50 yards. Thats how I end up with my arrows.
For me spines have come in on full length shafts (31.5 inch shafts, some come longer thats just the length of my aftermaths, so I run that length) with standard inserts 600 spine/30lbs range, 500 spine/ 40lbs range, 400 spine/ 50lbs range, 340spine/60lbs range. Now obviously if your start shortening them you'll drop a spine and if you start adding weight you'll go up a size. At least that been with my recurves at my 29 inch draw length.Last edited by tradslam; 06-05-2017, 03:37 PM.

I was referring more to guys that are using it as a base to buy arrows.
I can't have arrows that aren't perfect, it will get in my head lol. I'll spend time spinning them, nock tuning and if they end up a little weak, or stiff they go on ebay. For me I need a specific arrow length and spine to keep me shooting a little longer distances.
Unless I do any big 5 stuff I'll probably shoot the same setup forever. They ended up balancing out to good for my style of shooting.
