I'm messing about trying to get a better flight from Warbow arrows in the 90-130# range. Probably be testing at 120# (no, not by me, can't pull that these days

...)
My theory is that spine can be substantially less than draw weight (even as low as 2/3 draw weight) due to the light point, low inertial mass and the the fact that a Warbow is rather fat in the grip, so a fair bit of flex is needed to get round it.
I've go a load of 'boo shafts of various spines on order.
Questions.
1.Thicker end of shaft at point or nock for best aerodynamics? (I'll taper the point end a little anyway)
2.With fletchings obviously small is good, but with a warbow it does need a bit to help it straighten quickly. Do we think it's better to go a bit longer than a bit higher if extra size is needed?
3. GPP, I'm thinking about the 5-6 gpp mark?
I'm hoping that these arrows will be robust enough enough to test at short range so I can hopefully find a spine that will hit the target straight at 10 yards.
