          I know there other inputs but I would think this is close. If what I have put in is correct

          It shows to be .063 weak from a 340 spine. A 300 spine it still shows this to be .023 weak. So program is showing optimal spine is .2772. That is with a 125 gn head and 22 gn insert. Changing to a 50 gn insert it shows a .2682 spine

          This is the program in hunting filter.

          You can always make a weak arrow shoot. I'm not saying Brian is wrong. Maybe I'm doing the program wrong.

          It's just a little more info before you spend your money
          I'm just testing these out.

            That looks like that all to be a tough arrow

              Yes sir. I trying to figure out what/if there's a difference between the Rampage & Rampage LD.
              Do they take the Gold Tip scree in weights.

              I was reading something somewhere about Barrell shaped arrows. I didn't bookmark it, nor do I remember where it was.

              I just needed something to give my mind a break from the quest from my perfect arrow.

              I'll pickup my quest after Christmas our later.

                I understand the after Christmas. I'm broke. Need some more play money. And I thinking about a new bow to. Need to win the lotery or a rich relative to leave me money. I got a better chance of winning the lotery and I don't play

                    I'll let you know how these work out. I seem to recall that your draw weight is slightly less so you may be able to put more weight up front.

                    With the carbon-to-carbon measurement at 31.25", with a 100 grain brass insert and wearing a 100-grain point, my FOC should be in the neighborhood of 17-18% and the arrow, by the calculator, should be a little overspined.

                    If I need it, I can go up to a 175 grain point and not be underspined and push the FOC up around 20%.

                    My new "light" arrow configuration is going to be 550 grains. I'll see if I can fit a second sight tape on my slider to switch back and forth between FOC and whitetail arrows.

                      That would be awesome!

                      Wouldn't 2 sight tapes be confusing?


                      I found Saturday after I bought those arrows my bow has the 31" modules. I thought it had the 32" modules.

                        Let me know if you get the 2 sight tapes to work out, I was thinking about doing something similar. I was just going to put marks on my sight tape for the whitetail arrows.

                        What kind of slider do you have? I have the MBG pure driven.

                          MBG Ascent Ambush. I played around with SFA a bit at lunch and I'm not sure how well that's going to work. Marking your tape may be more practical, precise and a much better use of time.

                            I thought so as well, but I didn't know if you came up with something I didn't come up with

                              That's what Photoshop is for Print the tape to an image. Then edit in Photoshop and add a diff color marks or whatever. I scan the packages sight tapes, then use them as templates for my own that are exactly how I like them.

                                That's beyond me, but it sounds awesome. I'm definitely not tech savy. Especially photoshop, that's WAY to complicated for me. I feel like a fine tip sharpie would be much simpler
