Choosing Hunting Arrow

I tend to run heavy on spine if I have availability of the shafts I’m looking at purchasing. I personally prefer a 5mm shaft (ie black eagle rampages, easton axis, victory rip). I shoot 27.5” draw length with 70+ pounds of draw weight. I fit within the 340/350 on most spine charts but I lean towards 300s if available because it’s easier to tune a stiffer arrow than a weaker arrow. While I can pretty well tune either the 300 is a bit more forgiving. I run weight up front as well. Between 50-70gr ( currently running 60gr insert weight) with 100 gr points. I would run 125 gr but I literally have a tote full of 100gr broadheads so I’m going to stick with 100gr. All in all it’s personal preference. I’m personally building standard victory RIP elites right now.
