the 5575 are only rated to 60lbs on the goldtip pro hunters think the spine deflection is .400 right now im shooting a 28in Flatline spine .340 8.2 GPI you think i can switch to gold tips or dont fix what aint broke ???

Im thinking the aint broke part!

It depends on how long you want your arrow, on the Goldtip chart it looks like over 28" you go up to 7595. I used 5575s at 27.5" on a 70lb. bow and they worked fine, but thats probably too short for your 29" draw length, especially if it's for hunting(keep the broadhead out there a little bit). D

I shot 5575 for years on a 70 pound bow. They shot great.

If you are shooting a .340 spine now the go with a 75/95 (.340) GoldTip and you'll be good to go..

thanks guys ill check out Goldtips options

Why do you want to switch? You will get more speed out of the Flatlines and more KE out of the Gold Tips. Both great Arrows.

right now im getting 69Ke from my flatlines at 290 fps i know its pretty good for my set up guess ill just stick with them there good arrows, just getting board and getting ready to order another dozen here so got kinda excited

Try the new gold tip velocity arrows...they are awesome

Ive been shootin' the GT 5575s for about 2 years and they are still going strong with 100gr tips...and I flex 'em pretty often for safety's sake....they are a pretty durable shaft...I started with a Martin Jaguar, them moved to a Z7 and both bows were at 68-70lbs with a 28"dl...

[Coach W]

try the Gt 5575's I love em. If you dont like em, I will buy em off you at drastically reduced price of course!

The goldtips are the same weight as the flat lines at 8.2. I shoot goldtips out of my raptor 29/70 at 28 inches without any problems even with fixed blade broadheads. I do not go with the prohunters, just could not justify the cost vs the xthunters. You should not notice any difference. The .400 spine at 28 inches would be fine. If you go to longer would stick with the .340 spine especially with broadheads.

Check your actual draw weight and see what you are pulling. I shot GoldTip 5575 but am only pulling 61 lbs on my BowTech. and 64 on my Mathews. But am also of the fan of don't fix what isn't broke

[firexd]

just checking options hearing good things on GT 5575, i have never used GT products and looking for a change i guess we will see what happens here..most guys i know that do use them are shooting 70lb draw weight and have had no issues

[BIG D]

I shoot 72 lbs and shoot a 75/95 XT Hunter. I like the added weight per inch and they are awesome tough. Fly great and hit hard.
