I am shooting a Bowtech Reign 7. 70lb draw, 28" Draw length. I am trying to tune 125gr broadheads and having a hell of a time getting them to settle. I have 300 spine carnivores right now. The only thing I can come up with is that this spine still isn't stiff enough for this set up. Is there anyone with any experience shooting a fast higher weight set-up like this? What shafts worked for you?
gold tip 400
100 grain thunderheadd..use 4 inch vein and split the razor in the middle of veins test shoot if it doesnt plain sharpen and good luck.
my go to rig is the same as yours but i shoot 29.5 inches 4 inch groups at 100yds.not that i hunt that far.
Thanks for the quick reply. Which gold tips do you shoot? I also thought about changing to 100gr to relive more stress on the shaft. Do you fletch your own arrows to get the 4" Veins?Quote:

What length are your arrows? Are you using weighted inserts? I'm using a 70lb bow but a slower Carbon Icon. Have 125g heads and 75g inserts with arrows cut to 28.5 inches at a 30 inch draw. I think you'd be fine without weighted inserts and arrows under 28 inches but I'm not expert. I have 300 spine Easton Axis 6mm shafts; maybe on the edge of being underspined with the weight up front but I'm still tuning as I just got these built for elk season.
I am shooting 29" arrows, just the stock inserts that come with the arrows, I believe they are 15gr?Quote:

When I shot 300 spine carnivores, they were out of my nitrum turbo and RX1 turbo at 70 lbs and 28" draw.
Cut to 27.25", 75gr brass weights, regular aluminum insert and 100gr head. Darts!!!!
Those arrows are a little over-spined but shouldn't make much of a difference. You will notice arrows that are weaker spined but overspined a little isn't an issue.
