Thanks, BC. Here's another question. I have a couple dozen 29 inch GoldTip 5575's that I can't use with my compound. Would it be possible to use their weight system and put enough weight on the front end to decrease the spine to an acceptable level for my 55# longbow? The shafts only weigh 9.3 grains per inch (270 grains). I mean something like an insert (16 grains)two 50 grain weights and a 125 grain broadhead, all on the front and maybe 20 grains or so on the back for a healthy FOC % and a total unfletched arrow weight of around 530 grains?

Is this possible? It'd sure save some money. Or.... I could just save you guys the headache and myself a lot of money and shoot the 495 total weight POC shafts that I've already got as JimPic suggested.
As long as they have the gold tip insert you can can screw the wieghts in the front, and you need the install the nock adaptor in the back.
The tool to change the weight up front helps too unless you have 29 1/2" skinny fingers.
I LOVE the GT weight system.
