Ok. I am shooting a Diamond hornet, 70# with a 28" draw. I use a drop away rest. I "built" an arrow at Jackson's archery page, and using a 7595, a 100 grain tip, GT insert, 3 4" feathers and a GT lock nock, I get 385 grains, which is the equivalent of 6 grains per pound for my draw length. Seems to be perfect. However, the GT charts say 5575 all the way for my DL and DW. I'm guessing I'd be fine with the 7595s, since I'm using a drop away, correct?

Sounds good. I use that same setup (XT's w/ fletch's) and it works out great. I have the 5575's too and use them for target and 3D where I'm shooting about 10 lbs lighter draw. Sometimes I'll shoot both to see which group better. I have plenty of both because I love Goldtip's<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>.
Chief, am I correct in my understanding that you are shooting 7595s at 70#, 28" draw length with a drop away rest? If so, no spine related or flight problems, right?

Well, it's a bit more confusing than that (and I'm actually at 28 1/2). My hunting bow is at 70 and currently has a biscuit rest on it, but has had a few different ones, one being the Savage that I think you use. Both shafts will give good groups although the stiffer spine has usually given me tighter groups. Let me also say that my hunting setup isn't my most pinpoint accurate setup. Going from one spine to the other without changing my tune will change the point of impact some, but the size difference of my groups usually isn't that great, unless it's my shooting (which is always possible).
I think these shafts are very forgiving as far as spine goes. I came to that conclusion when I bought full length 5575's for my target bow and cut one back an inch or less at a time and maintained a bullet hole through paper at 6 ft. until I reached my cut length. Believe it or not and I was suprised by that.
Have you noticed the new goldtip page where it lists the target shafts? The left column tells you the series 22 is offered in only one spine but can be setup to perform out of almost any bow. I think that kind of backs me up on this (as far as spine goes), and yes I realize it's a different series of shaft.
I dont think it would hurt shooting the 7595's. You will will just have to tune the bow to them, which is possible. I experimented with both the 5575's and the 7595's and got them both to shoot well, but for my setup, it liked the 5575's a bit better with broadheads. I am shooting 65lbs with a 28.5" draw and a 27" arrow. I also shoot a 100 gr. Muzzy and this combo has me dead on.
Experiment with both, you should be able to buy a couple of each and see what happens. Only true way of knowing. But I would be willing to bet that the 7595's will shoot good for you. Not to mention you get a little added arrow weight which never hurts the KE department.
I cant speak for a 28" draw , but with my 30" draw 70# , 29" arrow the 5575's paper tune indicated a weak spine , I switched to the 7595's and had bullet holes imediately.

I too am shooting the 7595's with Gold Tips G-nock adapters and G-nocks, with 3, 4" feathers and 100 gr. tips, 27 1/2" shafts with 28" draw, @ 65lbs. Total weight is 395 gr. and I'm getting perfect bullet holes with broadheads and field tips shooting identical point of impact. I would definitly go with the 7595's, several people I know shooting 65lbs. had to go up to the 7595's to get perfect bullet holes. Gold Tip needs to recalculate their charts.
