I know, I know, Congrats on the new bow. I agree with the sentiment. I am very happy. I have been flinging a few arrows and getting brace set right for feel. I had some string slap on my extreme R/D longbow, but braced about 7 3/4 and now it is just about right.It is 62# @ 31", 64" long. I am moving up from a 52# 68" Hill style LB. shooting 5575 GT classic with 250 tips. about 580 total arrow weight. They are a bit light for my liking with the new 62#, and I am sure too weak. shelf is cut to center and my plate is no more than 1/8" out. I have built it out a bit just so I can shoot without my needed new arrows. I have not bothered paper testing but they seem to be shooting fine. But I want to be shooting about 100 gr. heavier and I do not think the 5575 will handle another 100 gr.up front? I am deciding between the GT 7595 or the CE heritage 350. They do have a bit different spine than another. Any opinions on a preference between the two arrows and any opinions on the spine best for my set up? I am flexible on my tip wight but pretty sure I will need to keep my arrows full length, so that part of the equation is out for final tuning.
Thanks a bunch   :dunno:

Throw another 100 up front and see, you might be suprised.

I ordered some 300 grain tips, stripped of some of the feathers that were looking old on 2 arrows and started shooting. out to about 20 yards I did not see any real pattern differences in grouping with the bare shafts. all within 6-8" but no real pattern, bare shafts nock ends were off sometimes but sometimes not. 635 grain total arrow weight, maybe a little lighter than what I was shooting for, but not bad enough to mess with it anymore. In shooting bare shafts I did notice a couple things that helped my form. I really had to focus on holding the bow hand still after the shot. I also really focused on holding my draw a little longer focusing on back tension and letting the string slip from my fingers. This has really helped and seems to be very important to do now that I have a heavier bow. They really seemed to fly great.
I am so surprised that I did not need a stiffer spine arrow

I think when you built out the shelf 1/8" it made the difference.  That makes at least a 7-10# difference in the dynamic spine.
62" Super D, 47#s @ 25-1/2"
58" TS Mag, 53#s @ 26"
56" Bighorn, 46#s @ 26.5"

I actually removed the extra plate material. Now I am about 1/16" to an 1/8" short of center.But at least I know If I do wan to go heavier up front, I can build out the plate if I am a little weak.
Does anyone shoot 7595 or a .300 spine?

I shoot 7595s out of my setup which you can see below...I have 365 grains of point weight and full length arrows

Malachi, With a draw length like that -you are no dwarf. Your set up is just like mine. You are probably just over 700 grn. on your arrows. I think I like that a little more than mine. At least I can shoot a bit more with the arrow set up I have and take a little while to decide on the arrow. How do you get to 365 up from with both BH and practice tips. You live in a great state!
