So I ended up getting 35# limbs since they were in stock and the 40# weren’t. So I spoke to them at 3 Rivers and they recommended a 500 spine, 31.5″ (my draw turns out to be 29.9″ and not 30″) with around 150 grain point. He said to play around with the point weight to tune it to my bow and shooting style. So, what do you guys think, sounds right? I thought maybe go a little stiffer and stay at 32″ and go a tad heavier tip, a little more FOC won’t hurt right?

I was thinking also, that if I kept the arrow like suggested from 3 Rivers I can build the arrows for the 50# limbs at the same GPP as the 35# limbs and be pretty close to the same point on yardage? I’mm new to the traditional and love the intricacies of the tuning and the simplicity of it all.

Every time I go elk hunting, in both units, I see lots of mulies. Many units have good draw odds, as you mentioned, and I have a buddie that drew a decent unit his first attempt. It really doesn’t hurt to put in every year and just be prepared to head west. I will [hopefully] draw next year and the annual elk hunt will be a mulie hunt.
