mainebuck Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I just got a new bow and plan on shooting 70 lb. for hunting this year. According to Goldtip, in order to use my existing 5575 XT arrows I should use an 85 gr. broadhead rather than my exiting 100 gr. heads or upgrade to a 7595 arrow to use the 100 gr. heads. Does anyone shoot 5575's with a 100 gr. head at 65 - 70 lbs? I guess I'm wondering if I can get away with the 100 gr. point or if I'll be forced to change. Obviously I'll have to test the flight myself. What kind of things, other than erratic flight, might I see that would indicate this is indeed a problem?

ranchand99 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: question on arrows/point weight According to their chart on a 28" shaft you can use 85gr or 100gr heads.I don't know what length you have though. http://www.goldtip.com/chart.asp I can't see dropping to a 85gr.I would shoot the 100gr,I think you'll like that.If you have the money, your second option is actually better.Hope I helped.

mainebuck Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: question on arrows/point weight oops, misread the chart. That's the very one I was looking at, but I saw the numbers on the top and I thought it was draw weight, not arrow length. My bad. Looks like I'll be sticking with my 100 gr. points. thanks ranchand99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchand99 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: question on arrows/point weight Oh yeah,also if the arrows are constantly hitting tail left,when paper tuning it means that your arrow is most likely underspined.If it is costantly hitting tail right it is most likely overspined.In your case you want to try and notice if you are underspined.It will not be too hard to notice even not paper tuning.When you shoot around 30-35 yds it will give the arrow time to kick out.Here is another link to read some good points about arrow point,and tip weight. http://www.huntersfriend.com/arrowhelp/arrow-selection-3.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
