any one?
You have not told us your drawlength or string material, or the riser cut of the bow; a lot is depending on those answers.
28" draw. f/f not sure what type. fairly narrow shelf
Man, find that dynamic spine calculator thread and download that. You'll be playing with options for way too long. I have only shot one arrow I matched up from it but it shot well and I've heard from others that it is close. give it a shot.
Critter Gitters are cut 1/8 inch from center. Why do you want to shoot a full length arrow (30 1/2 or 31 inches to back of point) if your draw is 28 inches? For the additional weight? Regardless, 75-80 will be plenty in an 11/32 shaft, if you can find it. May want to go to 80-85 if the shaft diameter is 23/64.
i just like a long arrow.
go to 3 rivers and buy their test pak

And run your numbers. From what I can see for a 31" arrow and 190 gr pts, you will need 90# spine.

thanks wing nut, i will look at it. i never would have thought 90# spine.
Fortunately you have 2-3" wood to spare. That can reduce your spine to the 75-80 range.
