Ok ...

I think your fine at 60/28 with a 27-29" 400 shaft.

So the 400 is that spine or weight? Or are they the same

400 spine shaft. The weight per inch will vary depending on the shafts you chose.

[stoneam2006]

And I'm looking at shooting 100 grain tips is that right?

And if I'm using 100 grain tips subtract that from shaft weight to be around 300?

First time I've had a set up that I want to see preform the best it can so want to learn and be on top of it

Ok thought so...so I read you want to be between 5 and 8 gpi so at 60 pounds I want to be between 300 and 480 full weight including broadhead inserts and nock...

So that means say 480 -100 =380 shaft

380 shaft÷28=13.5 gpi?

What am I do8ng wrong

Hit the reset button, lol

GPI in English means grains per inch, that is the arrow weight per inch of arrow. Say you find an arrow that weighs 10gpi, at 28 inches of arrow you would be looking at a weight of? ....280 grains. Then add on your BH or Field point weight, fletching, nock, Ect and that will be your finished weight.

Choosing a GPI is totally up to you, I prefer heavier. My current set up is, Carbon Express Pile drivers 350 and a 100 grain head. I shoot 65# at 29 inch draw.

Ok, let's say ...

Gold tip Hunters XT 400

8.2 GPI X 28" 229 grain

50 grain insert

100 grain broadhead

25 grains for nock and fletching ......your knocking on the door of 400 grains finished weight.

if you go on any arrow manufacturers website, most will have arrow selection charts.....that's what I would do.

[Doewhacker]

And of course check this out for fun.

Personally I would also go to a spine of 350-340. 400 is a hair light.

Also, arrow manufacturers confuse folks with their numbers, they may call an arrow a 400 but that doesn't mean that's the spine.

I have been looking at the charts and doing some research but this stuff is confusing still lol...

So seems as if I stay between 10 and 8 gpi I should be where I want to be...and what's the bennifit of a heavier arrow? Loss of fps but gain in energy?

So that's a stiffer spine right? Still use same arrow weight on it?

Yes, more so at longer distances, lighter is faster in the beginning but has less energy down range.

Yes and yes, the smaller the number the stiffer the spine.

[stoneam2006]

So my draw is 28....get arrows at 29?

That's another personal choice, easy way is to nock an arrow, draw, and have someone mark the arrow in front of the rest. It is possible to shot a 28 inch draw and a 28 inch arrow.
