    Im a new member and this is my first time posting. I have been bow hunting for three years. I shoot a Hoyt Ultratec with a 75# draw weight and my arrows are 5575 Gold Tip XT Hunters with 100 grain tips. My question is are these arrows stiff enough? The reason I ask is I keep trying to tune my bow and my broad heads are grouping to the right of my field points no matter what I try. Also when I'm shooting the broad heads the arrows are entering the target on different angles. They group relatively well at twenty and thirty yards (I haven't tried them past thirty yet) probably within a softball. Just looking for some insight. Thanks

    Those arrows are are likely way underspined. The spine on them is .400 and I use that with a 58# bow. You need the 7595's, .340 spine, at the very least. Your DL and arrow length will also be a factor to consider but you need to start with the 7595's.

    Yup I agree, you're underspined. I also shoot 58# with .400/5575 and 100gr broadheads. With that setup I'm still thinking of stepping it up in spine.
