    Hey Guys, I know this question is asked often but I really want to be sure about it.
    I want to find out which arrow spine and weight you would recommend for me.I am shooting a Pse XForce Dream Season EVO (2012) Bow with 30'' draw length IBO +-340fps.
    The thing is I am hunting in Africa and mostly hunting for game bigger than Whitetail deer but the occasional pig/wild boar as well.
    Due to the availability I am shooting 100 grain Broadheads and am looking for arrows that I can easily buy at home. Our local dealer only stocks Easton.
    I really would appreciate any help on this matter.

    As for spine I'm not sure since you didn't list your poundage. But I personally would be looking at the FMJ, injexion FMJ or FMJ dangerous game. I would also try upping the tip weight.

    As others have asked, need draw weight.

    I can advise that you go with the 75 gr brass inserts to up the weight and foc. They are available from easton in the the hit inserts and hp inserts.

    You will most likely need the 250 spine dangerous game FMJ's if shooting any kind of poundage. The issue is they are over 17 gr per inch and even with a 75 gr brass insert, foc won't be real high with a 100 gr broadhead. Imo, you should seriously consider 150+ gr broadheads.

    As stated above, draw weight plays a factor so I couldn't tell you your spine range until I know what your poundage is.

    Arrow length also plays a major role in arrow spine.
