    So I picked up a MR6 as secondary bow. Any current/past MR6 owners have any suggestions on setting her up? I was thinking about what bow in the past I really liked and the MR6 came to mind so I found one on AT for a decent price. Geeze to many people wanted new prices for these too. After a bit I finally found one for a reasonable price.

    My DL is 27" and DW is 70 so I am thinking a 340 spine for a 26.5 " arrow or would I be able to get by with a 400 spine? I was also thinking about bumping up to a 125 grain head which makes me lean towards the 340. The idea behind this setup is a higher KE than my other bow as well.

    I second the 340. But I would go 300, just my opinion though.

    With an arrow that short 340 is fine. Sure you can go over spined but the 340 is optimal for that set up.

    My back up bow is a Monster7. Love this bow. I would go with the 340 spine, with or without the 125 head.
