I am curious what spine would fit my set up better. I am shooting 28 inches of arrow from my 06 Tribute. Draw length is 29, draw weight 70 with the speed cams. I use a release and the bow has factory riggings. I tend to shoot 100gr tips with feathers or vanes steering them. Are the 55/75's just right, or are they bordering on the line of being weakspined. I would like to use the 75/95 to increase my arrow weight a bit, the Gold Tip Chart shows them to be too stiff for my setup. I feel that a 364gr arrow is on the light side for elk. Also, can anyone recommend an arrow in the Gold Tip XT Hunter price range that would afford the durability that's inherint to the Gold Tips, but weigh a little more. The 55/75's are 8.2 per inch. How about around 9.5-10 per inch. Thanks!!

Pay little attention to the charts. Gold Tips tend to be weaker than the charts suggest out of most higher speed bows. I would definitely go with the 7595 out of your setup. If you want the spine to match more closely, you may want to cut the shafts to a longer length. If proper spine is important to you, and it should be, bareshaft test them for tip weight and shaft length.

You could add wieght tubes to the arrows which would give you more wieght and weaken the spine.

I think you could go with the 75/95's. Or if you want a arrow that is a little heavier plus some other benifits, I would look into the Easton Axis. You could probably make the 400's and 340's fly good.

I don't think you are border line on this one......go with the 75/95s.

Definately the 75/95.

Your setup is almost identical to mine (same DL, DW, and a high energy bow) and my the 75/95 at 28" seems to spine perfectly according to TAP.
The 55/75 with the same parameters is waaaaaay down on the weak end of the chart (like shooting a wet spaghetti noodle).

I have a similar setup and also shoot the 7595 and 125 grain heads with great success. I would suggest you not cut all your arrow to 28" right away. Leave 3 of them a long, say 29", see how they fly. Play with point weight. You can always trim a bit more, you can never add it. When you have them dialed as far as point weight and arrow length, cut the rest. Just a thought.

Thanks

Thanks for all the great feedback. I will pick up some 75/95's this weak and try them. It sounds like they will work very well and give me a bit more weight. Thanks again.

75/95 without a doubt

My set-up is about the same and the 75/95 shot the best
