Ok, I've decided to stick with one bow and have it pull double duty for 3-D and Field so I'm going to shoot Maxima 3-D Selects. I've ran the shaft on OT2! and AA and I've got them cut to 29". I'm shooting 54 lbs., 30" draw and the shafts are 250's.
If I use Flight Mate points I can go up to 112 grains and that's how I've set them up now. With those points it shoots 272 out of my Ultra Elite with C2 cams. Set up like that the arrows weigh 352 and the f.o.c. is almost 13% and they are just a tad stiff but I mean just a tad. They're set up just about perfectly for the way I normally set arrows up for a starting point.
According to the program a 90 gr. point would put me at about 280 which is a little better 3-D speed. I'd really like to be at that speed but I don't want to sacrifice too much to get it. If I go to the 90 gr. points it's going to be a bit stiffer and f.o.c. is going to be about 10.5%.
So my question is if you guys were setting up a double duty arrow just like this which of the two setups would you lean toward for a starting point and why?
Also, kind of related, if I decide to go with the 90 gr. points I may change to the Easton Hyperspeed series nibbs with the long shank because I really like the way the fit these shafts better. How much if any does that long shank affect the spine? I'm just wondering because if the lighter point is going to make it stiffer already I don't want to go too stiff if that comes into play too very much.
Thanks in advance.
