For most people, the program will give a good tunable arrow choice if all the info is entered correctly in the 14 boxes.

Like Night Wing said, "For most people," it is an excellent tool, but the information entered needs to be correct.

Is there a calculator available anywhere for Arrow Dynamics shafts?

Thanks guys. It is a great tool. Like you some have said, if you don't use the tool correctly you won't get the job done. I have found Stu's efforts to be a great help to me. Sometimes I fine tune them, but it gets me close.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned when working with Stu's DSC program, the brace height sometimes needs to be adjusted.

If you look at my signature, you will see both of my bows can shoot the same 32", 2212 aluminum arrow with an 85 grain point weight. I did some fine tuning this morning by playing around with the brace height on both bows. In order to get both bows to shoot the same point weight and make the arrow hit where I'm looking, the brace height for the 42# bow is set at 7 7/8" and the brace height for the 37# bow is set at 8 3/16". I can see these brace height differences when I shoot both bows at 22 yards. They won't show up at 10-15 yard shots. So, brace height has to be taken into consideration for fine tuning. Fine tuning is more than point weight alone.

If you enter all the correct info into the 14 boxes of the DSC program, in the end, the fine tuning of experimentation is still up to "you".
