60 pounds. No insert…
If you're shooting heads/points that thread into the arrow, you've got an insert of some kind. Assuming it's a lightweight insert (15-ish gr), I think you'll be fine putting 150 gr heads on a 29" 350 spine arrow at 60 lbs. If you do end up having problems tuning the heavier heads and think the arrows might actually be a little weak, you should have room to trim 1-2" off to stiffen them.
Ok so there are inserts then but it doesn’t say the weight online. I’m shooting Scheels Vendetta Pro which are made by Victory. I see no reason why i couldn’t cut them back to stiffin them up as well. I ended up with a 29” arrow because that’s what they recommended, for no other reason.
I use a whisker biscuit.
What is THP? The Hunting Public?
Looks like those are Victory VForce arrows sold under a Scheels brand, so I'd guess they're outfitted with either Victory's 11 gr or 22 gr aluminum inserts. Either way, Victory's spine calculator says 350 spine will work for you.
Ok awesome, maybe I’ll call Scheels today and see if they can clarify whether they are 11 or 22 gr. Do you think it would be beneficial to buy the 300 spine arrows If I’m going 150 grain?
Hard to say, you should get some 150 grain field tips and see how those tune first before investing in a premium 150 grain broadhead.
I think your 350 spine arrows will be fine, especially if you trim them a bit. Like Zac said, you could try some 150 gr field points to see how you like the trajectory and see if you can get them to paper/bareshaft tune with your current arrows before you commit to the 150 gr broadheads. You'll need 150 gr field points anyway for practice if you do end up going with heavier heads.
Depends. You said you wanted a "heavier set up." Do you want a heavier arrow overall or just more weight (foc) up front? Another question is why are you wanting to change anything?
I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Well I think I’d like a heavier setup overall, I just don’t want to buy new arrows and new broadheads right now, so I’m trying to figure how to get a bit heavier for 2021-2022 with spending too much $$.
Then you should buy new shafts. Adding weight to the front alone changes the spine characteristics. You could do something like adding wraps and a 125 gr point weight. That would get you around 35 grains heavier overall and have less impact on spine.
