Thanks for the great advice. How much flexibility does changing the point give me in terms of effective change of spine? Obviously it will make the arrow firmer/weaker as appropriate, but is it likely to be sufficient to effectively move the spine up/down on the chart? One of my club colleagues also suggested using brass nocking points in place of the cotton floss type I now use. Would this really make any difference?

As my arrow is currently too weak (whippy?) I wonder if it accounts for the unexpected clean breaking in 2 of one of my arrows on impact with the target recently? I had put it down to unseen prior damage.
