    Arrow weight/spine help

    Bare with me a minute to explain what I'm talking about.

    Currently I shoot GoldTip XT 7595 arrows that cam with my bow, from an individual.
    I messed a few up and was looking at new ones.
    So naturally you would look at a chart. Well I noticed the chart says the 5575 draw range of 64-70#.
    Here is the deal 5575 gpi is 8.2 & 7595 gpi is 8.9
    My arrow weight now is 383. But with the 5575 they could be 364.1
    That's 18.9g less.

    How many FPS do I stand to gain doing this?
    Also is this spine really safe for 65# draw by the chart?

        According to GTchart, you are "overspined"

        They call for the 5575 which is a .400 spine



        you may get a 5fps going with that. I don't know. Only one way to find out. I shoot 7595 shafts bcs my arrows are 30 inches. You might be better off witht the 5575

        Maybe somebody with On Target can get you better scientific data for you. I know some guys have here have it. Been thinking of getting it for myself

          That's what I thought,
          Does it hurt to be overspined?
          Now to find out how much fps I would gain.

            You can be a little overspined and be o.k. It is usually better to be slightly overspined than underspined. I have the same draw length as you and when I shot 65#s I found that both 5575s and 7595s worked equally well.

            20 grains should gain you about 6 fps. Rule of thumb is 3 fps per 10 grains of arrow weight.

                With this setup, I don't think this is "slightly" overspined. It sounds like waaay too much

                        Well basically if it is shooting well with these arrows at 20 30 40,
                        Use the arrows till you need some new ones and get the others.
                        I get good flyte with FP and my BH since i use the slick trick 100g magnums.

                          Could you run some numbers for me? I shoot 70 lb. draw, 100 gr. slick trick, 27.5 inch arrows, single cam bow (diamond black ice). I am currently shooting red head "carbon fury" 6675, but I want to upgrade my arrows.

                              I shoot almost the same set up as you do. Mine came from the shop with a .350 spine but I soon switched to the XT 5575 and found them to shoot much better, especially as your distance increases.
