    I recently bought my first bow. After shooting it quite a bit the first day I noticed my fletchings were hitting the rest. I got that problem fixed (tuning problem), but my fletchings are slightly bent as a result. I hear good things about Quickfletch Quickspins and will likely go with them. What is the difference in them and the Twisters? Is one better than the other? I'm shooting Gold Tips (7595) because thats what the guy told me to get. After looking into it it seems that 5575's might be the correct choice for my set up. Should I go ahead and re-fletch the 7595's or switch to the 5575 shafts?

    Well first off you need the right spine because when it comes to broadheads you'll need the right spine or you will have tuning problems. Also I personally use 4in vanes with a right helical and have not experimented with the NAP vanes just of yet, but would like to.

    With a 55 pound draw 55/75 would be lighter than the 75/95. I shoot the twisters and love them.

    I will be increasing the draw weight in the near future. I was told to take it easy at first to avoid aggrivating a shoulder injury. I have 60 lb limbs on my bow and will be turning it all the way up, so I figure it will be pulling at around 63 or so at it's max. It still would seem that the 5575's would be ok for that wieght at my draw length. I guess I'm just curious how it would affect the flight and overall performance if I were to stay with the 7595's.

    5575 means between 55 lb and 75 lb draw. I think you will like 5575's much better. Thats what I shoot.
