Currently shooting gold tip hunter 340, arrow length at 29.5” @ about 65 lb draw and 125 grain head. I think I might be under spines. Think I want to try going to a 300 shaft with a 50 or 75 grain brass insert and keep everything else the same. Other than some adjustments to my sights (and maybe rest) this shouldn’t be a waste of time and money, right?

What’s your draw length? I was shooting GT 340 Pros/XTs cut 28-5/8” carbon-to-carbon, standard insert, 3-fletch Bohning Heat vanes, 100 grain point. My bow is 29/63.
What are you hoping to gain? You’re tweaking around the margins by going to a 300 with your setup. Nothing is wrong with that, but keep in mind that arrow charts have a lot of safety built into to them as well. If your groups are fine at your max distance, he change may not buy you much. You may be gaining some weight (penetration, quietness).
I’m getting into building arrows, so I invested in Archer’s Advantage. It can give you some solid ideas about various arrow setups without the investment or time into arrows. Let me know if I can help in detail.

By the way, I switched from the Gold Tip Hunter Pros to the .204 ID Gold Tip Airstrikes in .300 spine (29/70) with stainless steel inserts (~72 grains). I like them a lot so far. My only pain was fitting the collar over the coated shaft. I had to sand the first inch of shaft to remove some coating.
