Is it 40# at 28"? Are you pulling a full 28" or longer?

I would think a 500 is still pretty stiff for that poundage and depending on the shelf/side plate depth and style of bow.

Lots of variables.

Not near enough info to give you any kind of real answer, but those will more than likely too stiff if the 40# is at your DL.

The bow is a Hoyt Satori with 19in riser.  The dr wt with the satori's is based on a 21in riser.  My dr length is approx 27 inches.

Only the bow can really tell you--- through tuning.  That said i believe you will find 600 s very tunable for your bow.  If you have 500s and they are too stiff w your chosen point weight move your strike plate in and or get some 600s.  Take your time when bareshafting.

I'd say you will be pretty close being a past center cut bow. They are way less picky about arrow spine. If it won't shoot them I personally would look at some heavier points before I would buy new arrows that cost $150 a dozen. :goldtooth:
