    If you think they are too weak the cheapest thing to do would be to lessen your draw weight.

    Why do you "think" the spine on the arrows are too weak? Are you performing some type tuning that is telling you or are you guessing?

    well if you are against droppin you wieght which would be the best thing to do and the cheapest. i would try the pile driver carbon express arrows. i shoot a 73 lb draw weight and a 30 inch draw length and these arrows are awsome no flex that i can see when paper tuning. i shoot the 350s they make a 400 but its more than i need so i know its more than you need. you need to remember that the pile driver arrows are heavier than a normal 350 ce arrow, and the 5575 gold tips .a 5575 gt arrow wieghs around 8.3 grain the pile driver weighs 11.2 grain. you will notice the diff in penetration in your target i had about a three inch gain on penetration.
