With the carbons you can add 5 or 10 gr at a time with the weight system gold tip uses.There are also weight tubes that go in the shaft or I think most of the carbons you can add the weights to the inserts or use nock bushings. I'm not real familiar with tuning other carbons.I only used the Gold Tip Traditional because they had all the weights and bushings that made them easy to tune, plus they looked cool like a wood shaft. On the aluminum shafts they make more spine choices like 2213 or 2219, you have the option of spining up or down to fit your bow so you don't have to worry about adding alot of weight to the shaft to get it spined right. My bow liked 2216's the best with a 150 gr head. I only dabbled in traditional gear for a few years. I know there are some real traditional shooters that have way more knowledge than me on this. If any of you guys have a better method I would love to learn about it.
