Without looking at a spine chart, I think your spine should be okay, espeically at 60#s.

Your OVERSPINED and A LOT!!! With your set-up, even shooting that longer arrow, you need a 500-550 spine to be optimal. IF you arrow isn't spined close, it's won't fly well. To get the "perfect spine" you need to step up to a 510 FMJ, and put a 125gr tip on there. Gold tip doesn't even make anything that hits the right spine for you set-up according to OT2.

These arrows should work for you.....

PSE RadialXPRO .520 spine
Easton arrows in a .510 or .520 spine
Beman ICS Energy in a .520
Blackhawks in .490 -.505 would be just a little overspined.

In the words of comedian Ron White.... "And I was WRONG....."

A little bit overspined won't hunt you like it would if you were shooting fingers and a traditional bow.... but too much of anything ain't good. That is one thign that OT2 will tell you that spine charts won't.... all the spine chart wants is cam system, point weight, draw weight and total arrow length.... Good spot OH!
