I may try this on my kids arrows to add some weight.How many pics of dead elk do you want with arrows that have been used this way?

Letting the shop tune your bow is okay for a starting point, but you need to be the one shooting to confirm/finalize the tune. Differences in grip, anchor point, etc. can affect how a bow tunes. Your bow may or may not need to be at the manufacturer's recommended centershot (usually 13/16" from riser to centerline of arrow) depending on the lateral position and/or lean of your cams (as well as other factors).They took my bow and showed me the center shot was slightly off so I left it with them to fix that and broadhead tune.
Spine charts/calculators will all say that 400 is on the weak side at your specs, but you're not at risk of the arrow actually failing. "Too weak" in this context means the arrow will bend more during the shot than the estimated optimal amount of bending. It doesn't mean that the arrow is structurally weak and at risk of breaking.I'll probably go back to my 340's just so I don't have the thought of an arrow splitting on release bugging me.
It would constitute a possible failure if the arrow was compromised and under spined. If that makes any sense. It would multiply the possibility. Some arrows are compromised and pass the pre shot test on an arrow. May even be shot multiple more times. Hypothetically the arrows could pass pre shot testing but explode in the face of the user if under spined. Just a possibility rather than a definite.Letting the shop tune your bow is okay for a starting point, but you need to be the one shooting to confirm/finalize the tune.
