[QUOTE="TNDeerGuy, post: 4921363, member: 3702"] You are not going to like what I am going to say, but you need to enlist the help of a seasoned archery shop, or someone close to you that is extremely knowledgeable about tuning to get you sorted out in the right direction, and save you a bunch of money and time!!! Stay away from most big box retailers with archery shops, and get into an actual archery shop, or if you know a seasoned archer that has the proper equipment for setup and tuning. To begin with, what poundage are you going to shoot? 60-70 pounds is a wide range and will have dramatic effects on what you're trying to do or accomplish. As you add weight in the front you further weaken the spine deflection in the arrow. With the information you have already given (29" draw, .400 spine arrow, 60-70lbs, etc...) you are already under-spined as it is shooting a 100gr broadhead. I would highly recommend you give a very strong look at .330-.350 spine deflection if you choose the standard 100gr head, which works fine for most everyone and general hunting setups for this region. If you are going heavier, like 125gr-150gr heads, then I would move to a .300 spined arrow. Having the correct spine arrow is the second most important part of optimum tuning, next to proper fitment—actually, I personally think it is part of proper fitment. Also, it is far best to be over-spined, instead of under-spined. [/QUOTE]
