With both my bows im on the border line as far as spine goes,im using gold tip 5575,not getting the best flight as i did with my slower firecat tr1 bow i had,so i was wondering what other arrows you people are using and how you like them,thanks.

I am shooting what seems like the exact same thing you are and I am getting accuracy. I am sure it could be better as all things can but I am in the new stages so I figure things will tighten up with that as well. As it is 95% of my shots are hitting the kill zone and I have shot close to 400 arrows this week. What are your arrows doing specifically that you don't like. Mine very well may be doing the same things and I just don't know what to look for.

i use gt prohunter 7595,i uses them when i had to turn my bow down to 55# and i used them when my bows is at 73#.i seen no differance besided moving moving my sight.from the pics i seen on carbon arrows breaking and what it did to peoples hands i will shoot a bit over spine to be safe.as long as im in the kill zone out to 50 yards im good.and i shoot up to but not limited to 100 yards.i have shot 130 somthing befor and went way over my target.100 g tips is what im useing right now but im going in today to get 125 feild tip to see what might change
I have used Lightspeed 400's for years, until I got my Shadowcat.
Despite being the same draw weight as my Constitution, at around 60 lbs, it does not work well with 400 spine arrows. Fortunately I had some Sky Art Carbon 340's which work really well. I tried the Cat with Lightspeed 340's, which are OK, but they don't fly as well as the Sky Art shafts.
I use 80 grain points, Easton nocks and am currently experimenting with fletchings and leaning towards 3" feathers.
Dedicated Finger Shooter.
Shadowcat(s) with Barnsdale limbs: Davis The System, Free Flyte rest.
Sky Art carbon arrows.
GT Hunter expeditions 7595 with some Velocity Hunter 300's on the way.
Carbon Force Radial X Weave 300,been shooting them lately and they are very nice![]()
Im hitting the kill zone but it seems like one out of 3 hit the x,now im shooting these out of the AX around 64# which is kinda the cut off for the 5575 to the next higher splined arrow.
Ill have to do some testing i might drop the weight down to see if there's a improvement.
I am shooting 5575 at 70# draw weight. With the 100 grain broad head these were exactly what was recommended to me by my shop. What do you mean by cut off?
