There is, I suppose, potential functuionality issues with over-spined arrows. If you're shooting 200 spine arrows and it should be 340...that's a big difference. Not sure if that's a safety concern or not. Just a heads up. I'd be looking for the right answer on that ASAP. You don't want to end up with half a carbon shaft run through your hand after the arrow grenades upon release.

The "200" isn't actually the spine of that arrow, it's just an arbitrary number PSE used to label that particular arrow. I don't believe it correlates at all with the numbers other arrow manufacturers use.

So....KC...what spine are the arrows you're shooting?
I assumed that was the spine...

KC, one more question about your draw weight are you getting that 60lbs at full draw or part ways through the draw?  You might have a 70lb draw and when it gets to full draw and the letoff you may be at 60lbs.  You would actually have a 70lb draw bow and would need to match your arrows to that.

A 70 pound draw weight with an 80% let off would mean he'd only be holding 14 pounds at full draw, not 60 pounds.  :o
Not sure how much experience he has with a  bow or measuring draw weight.  If he was doing it himself and not real experienced my concern was it was a 70lb bow that he pulled to full draw with a scale and then was pulling through the valley/letoff and up against the back wall still pulling hard, maybe 60lbs and not realizing he could let up only hold the letoff weight.

Again the forum thing is tough to communicate through and maybe I didn't explain myself clear enough as to what I thought the problem might be.

I really think he needs to take it to a pro shop and see what he has and verify that he has the correct and legal arrows.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I can't take it anymore- the word is "spine," not "spline."

Makes my eye twitch.    :o
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
