    Point weight changing spine of an arrow?

    I recently read that changing the weight of your arrow point can change the spine of your arrows. So to play around a bit I changed my 125gr field points to 100gr and they hit to the right of the aiming point. So with that said, did I decrease or increase my spine? I looked up the broadhead tuning chart but not sure if that applies to field points. My setup is a vector turbo, 29/70, shooting an Easton Axis 340 cut to 28in. The only reason I ask is cause it was recommended to me that since I shoot a "speed" bow that I might need a stiffer spine. Any input/help would be appreciated, thanks.

    When you go lighter in tip weight, you increase the stiffness of your arrow. More tip weight decreases stiffness.

      This. Tip weight includes your nock as well.

        Adding weight to the front of your arrow weakens the spine. Adding weight to the back(wraps, lighted nocks, larger vanes) increases the spine.

        I bet if you put a lighted nock in your arrow, it would go right back to normal, or very very close!
