I recently bought a dozen avalon 600 spine arrows for practice and a dozen skylon brixxon 600 spine arrows to use for competing. I am still in the cheaper arrow mode because i am trying to increase my draw weight. I have gone from 32ish to about 37 while working up. My DL has increased as my form got better and i got more flexible. I had the avalon arrows cut to be 29.5" nock groove to carbon and i am using 100gn glue in points. At 37#, the 600 spine/ 29.5" arrows are showing way stiff. I am testing only at 18 meters and can get 5 fletched in a tight group in the gold, and i make what feels like a solid shot with the bare shaft. The bare shaft is landing 12" left, repeatedly. I am not that concerned with these arrows because i can get them to shoot decent fletched and i will only shoot them at 18m. At my current DL (30 1/4) the clicker is set at the very front of the riser, but it sits mostly on the clicker plate with only a portion of the clicker overlapping the riser. So I have a couple of questions:
1. Does it sound like those arrows are too short to shoot safely?
2. I obviously don't want to cut the brixxons the same length because they are 600 spine as well. I can get another inch of arrow length before i go beyond my extended clicker. Do you think an inch of arrow length would be significant enough to weaken the dynamic spine to possibly get them to tune?
3. I have 700 spine arrows from my original setup that are too short to shoot out of this bow. I followed the charts from the manufacturer and they all indicated 600 spine. Do these charts tend to run stiff, so to speak?
4. I am running 100gn points, but tried some 125gn and they didn't help much. Would it be worth trying heavier points?
5. How do you guys trim new arrows? Do you just know what size you need or do you cut extra long and trim to tune?
I could just get another dozen 700 spine arrows, but i really don't want to if i don't have to. I seem to be running a used arrow store in my basement and it seems very wasteful.
Any insight is appreciated
