    Here is a new arrow I'm working on:

    Goldtip XT7595
    26.75" shaft length
    Standard Nocks
    100gr Brass insert
    100gr BH
    x3 2.1" Fusions (18gr)

    Hoping someone can run this on OT2. Looking to see how I am sitting spine wise. Thanks!

    That setup shows a weak spine. As a target arrow it shows weak but still good, as a hunting arrow it shows weak and not good. I would go with a .300 spine. That would be a bit on the stiff side but you can always add a little more tip weight or go with a 28" shaft.

    Thanks Bruce, how far weak am I? I could bump down to a 25.5" shaft length, maybe shorter. I was hoping to stay in these shafts and get away from screw in insert weights.

    I am not at that computer right now but it was kind of weak. I dropped the DW down to 60 before it was good. I suppose you could go 25.5 with one arrow and maybe drop your DW when tuning and see how it does. You could also go to a 50 grain brass insert (you would still have a good FOC) and probably keep the original length and maybe drop your DW when tuning. There are a couple other options, kind of a mix of what I said already but this should give you something to work with,

    Sounds good. I am shooting a very similar set up right now. Looking forward to doing some testing.

    XT7595@ 27"
    Standard insert with a 50gr screw in weight

    Tunes perfectly

    I would remove the brass insert and just go with the 100 grain tip and you should be fine.
