I bumped it up to 70# once the season started and stayed with the 400's. I just looked at a chart that recommended 340-370 splines. What's gained by going that route OR what's wrong with sticking with the 400's? Shoots straight and kills stuff already.

But normally a weak spined shaft is a pain in the arse to tune, especially with a fixed head. "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it." Captain Woodrow F.

Been running around getting my business straight for tomorrows surgery and stopped by the computer. Amazing that when young, surgery was no big deal, now at 49, it just friggin sux!!!. Plus I know the pain that's gonna follow. Thanks again.
