    Hey guys I am new to bow hunting and would like to know your thoughts on what arrow specs I should be looking into for White tails. I have a Bowtech Assassin #70 weight with 30" draw length. I have been practicing with Victory V-Force 400 with 100gr field tips. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    Someone else with more knowledge will for sure chip in. But 400 seems under spined to me. You should be closer to 340-300. I know they have spine charts that can help make sure you are shooting the right arrow.

    Your way under spined....your not getting away with a .400 spined arrow at 30/70...unless your cut down to 25-26 inches... Which i doubt.

    You a should bump up to .300 spined shafts.

    As far as total weight keep it between 380-450 and you good for about anything.
