Arrow Spine Advice/Opinion

[Fins_N_Tines]

I have always shot 300 spine arrows, and they tune super easy for me. However, I have a pile of 340 spine Easton axis uncut arrows that I decided to see if they will work considering I was going to build a new arrow setup this year and this will save a lot of money. So, my question is do you guys think a 340 spine will be ok for me given my setup.

Mathews lift x 29.5, 27.5" draw length, 70lbs

Currently my arrows are cut carbon to carbon 26.5" in 300 spine. Based on most spine charts looks like i would be good if I cut the 340 spine to 25.5". I think that's about as short as I can cut.

125gr broadhead/point
50 gr HIT plus 10gr collar = 60gr

So, 185gr up front. 3 fletch bohning Alpha vanes on back prolly 24gr and standard nock 6 gr.


I am only asking as I really do not want to cut a couple down just to test out.

How much total weight (head/point + insert + collar) are you going to put on the front end?

My specs are 71/29.5". I've never run into problems with over spined arrows.. even shooting 250 spine with 100 grain heads.
I've had lots of problems tuning under spined shafts. The lightest shaft I ever shoot is 300's with 175 up front. Looking at what you're trying to build, that's clearly pushing the limits based on having that much weight up front. I wouldn't even consider it. I'd list those shafts for sale.
