Default Need a little help..arrow length/spine

I am new to this forum and have been shooting about 2 yrs now. I shoot a Bear trx 32 @ 65 lbs. Draw length is 29". I use a mechanical release with a string loop. Currently shooting Easton ST Epic 300's cut to 30 1/4" (this was advised from tech support from where i ordered the arrows). for broadheads I shoot G5 Montec 100's. I use a whiskar biskut rest. ---Hopefully everything technical you need to help me with[8D]

My question or concern is...at full draw my arrows stick out from the front of the biskut about 1 3/4" before the broadhead... is this too long...

Second...if I cut the arrows shorter, I assume I will gain a little speed...but is the spine going to be too heavy as i feel they may be already....

Any suggestions?..I really don't want to spend another $70-$100 on new arrows....Help?[&o]

Any other info needed please pm me or post and i'll try to update...thnx

Yes you are already over spined badly so cutting them even shorter is going to make matters worse. The 340's with 125 grain heads would have been much better. Here is what OT2 showed for what you are shooting now
