the chart for arra spine is NOT the same for compounds and recurves, esp if you are shooting carbons.
what draw, and pound bow are you shooting??
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

what draw, and pound bow are you shooting?? Also what bow is it? What's the bows draw weight and what is your actual measured draw length. Trad bow draw is usually a little shorter than compound draw. Do you know what string material you are shooting?

There's also a difference between longbow and recurve, 3rivers has a good chart with it all on.

I would imagine it would be tough to get your compound arrows to fly worth a flip. Thank goodness my longbow ain't too picky. I shoot full length GoldTip Trad 3555 with a 125 up front and they fly great. I order mine off eBay a lot. You can find blem shafts on eBay pretty cheap.

i'm a fulltime traditional guy. Feathers fly much better. Vanes are too stiff and don't come off the shelf like feathers. However, I keep one arrow in my quiver with vanes. They handle the rain better!

They handle the rain better! The rain is one of the reasons I bought natural Turkey Feathers to use on my arrows, that and they look great.

a perfectly tuned arra will fly straight at short ranges(trad) with soaking wet feathers. Feathers, esp big/long feathers, will hide a lot of bad tuning.

Im not sure what it is called but im pretty sure there is some powder you can put on your feathers that will keep them from matting down in slight wetness. Now a down pour im not sure.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.
