Do like we do for indoor spots: leave them a little longer than normal and use a heavier point weight to help break down the spine.
Thank you. That is a very nice offer! It turns out that I picked up a few used arrows from another member yesterday, so I'll be giving them a try soon.

That’s BS. When running stiff arrows, and most times heavy, guys run lower point weights to keep up speed. You add to much vane with little weight on front, you can cause flight issues instead of helping. There is a “ to much vane” as well as not enough. Vanes don’t matter anyway if your form and tune are good. I shoot 30x arrows with a 100 grain point cut to 25.5” ctc out of a 50# bow with 27” draw length and stack perfect bareshafts at 30 yards. It’s all about the tune.Reference the earlier comment about Tim Gillingham.
He suggests that going over spined is ok … just be sure to put enough vane on the back end to help out controlling the arrow.

Arrow tip from Tim Gillingham
Got this in email yesterday... If of value fine, if not, delete. Long, I have to submit in two parts.......... Shaft Recommendations and Tuning Tips for Optimal Performance By: Tim Gillingham There are many factors that contribute to a so called “perfect” setup. Your arrows are arguably one...
I don’t disagree with you, but the problem is that perfect form which constitutes perfect tune doesn’t always happen in real life situations. One of the reasons I don’t always agree with BS tuning. It takes perfect form and perfect conditions. If we all had those we’d shoot perfect scores. I think it’s the bigger more aggressive fletching on stiff arrows that helps correct our imperfections in order to get better, more consistent results under pressure or imperfect conditions . Majority of successful archers shooting large diameter, stiff arrows are typically cutting more air on the vane end. It may be height, length or number of vanes or even the degree of offset/helical.
