arrow tuning-help needed noob

[T101]

hey, is it possible to tune my arrows to suite my bow?

at the moment i am shooting 27.5 cartel triples (400) spine with 110g points @ about 55lb draw weight with a switchback.(hard solo cam)

chart says 500 or even 600 spine but i can't really afford a new set at moment as i need a new sight also
i have heard switchs like a stiffer arrow so can i get away with just changing point weight ? any help or advice appreciated.

My understanding is if you are shooting a compound bow with a release it is OK to be too stiff. The only penalty you are paying is that the arrows are heavier than they need to be.

400s are too weak for your set up. You need 300s according to Archers Advantage.
How long is the arrow? (groove of nock to the end of shaft)
What is your exact draw length (it will tell you on the bottom cam)

can you reach 90 mtrs ok with your switchbac on a 27.5 " draw length

i'm shooting 470 aces 28" long 53lb.

says 520's apparently for my set up so went .5" longer with slightly stiffer arrow

my draw length is 28, correct arrow length is 27.5, do i really need new arrows?

NOT DEAD YET had no trouble reaching 100yds with 53lb draw 28.5 inch triples with 90g points last season (same bow), golds and grouping was not great though

They are too weak. You can try to tune them, but you really need to err on the stiffer side for compounds.

ok cheers, but i 'm still gonna try them today at all york distances, if they dont group guess i'll have to bite the bullet and get some new ones.

the 400 are perfectly fine and they are on the stiff side. Archers advantage is a great site tape producer but never gets the arrows right (although 80% of that is user error).
The arrows are fine shoot them with a 110 point unless you struggle to make 100 yds then have a rethink for a lighter arrow

I think Perry may disagree with that statement.
