I've been shooting the XTs for years. Looking to try the kinetics this year. I've always run 50 grains behind the insert and a 100 grain head so roughly 150-160 grains of point weight.

I'm thinking of running 200 grains up front. Currently I'm 60 lbs, 30 in draw with a 28.5 in arrow carbon to carbon thru a bear Kuma and divergent. I shoot the 300s in the XTs to make up for the point weight.

Gold tips charts don't account for more than 150 grains up front. Can anyone tell me I'll still be ok to run 300s with 200 grain up front?

Also - I'm wondering if stacking 5-20 gr FACT weights will cause a week spot in the shaft or if I'm just over thinking this.

Thanks in advance!

I use the 340 kinetic kaos with 75 grain brass hit inserts, the factory collar and 100 grain iron will vented heads. Not super technical when I build arrows or anything but they fly great out of an older Hoyt at 28.5” draw at 70lbs

If you have 3 vanes that are 5grains each you’re right at 300spine. If it’s not flying right it’s probably still a little weak. Add a 4th vane, get heavier vanes, or use a arrow wrap. Usually want just a slightly stiff spine.
