Your arrow length is from the throat of the nock to the end of the shaft (not the end of the point).

.
interesting as when myself and others in the club we use the chart as follows.

bow weight we dial in what the poundage is measured at 28" the AMO

then agree with arrow length,

my specs are as follows

40lb @ 28"
44lb @ fingers
30" arrow

using your method the chart suggests i use a redline 460 spine
using my method the chart suggests i use a redline 520 spine

now i have read on this forum that alot of people suggest the easton chart suuggests all too often a too stiff an arrow, using your method i would agree, but using my method the tuning is spot on.

i know because another archer in my club uses 31" 460 spine redline. even with the extra length they came out way too stiff for my bow, yet the 520 spine the chart suggested using my method are perfect,

This method was taught to me by my coach JOHNSKE on here who has over 40 years experience in archery and was also a supplier of equipment to archers over the same period as well as reaching State coach, so he has seen the differing easton charts over the years and noted the changes and therefore understands how they work.

all i can suggest is to try our method
