Default RE: Someone run a spine for me please?

Thanks for running it for me TFOX. However though, I got impatient and downloaded the trail version, and ran it myself. I still have questions though, because I am really new to this aspect of shooting. I gave you some bum information, and not sure how much it affects things, ATA is 32.5, not 32, and Brace is 8.5, not 8.

When I ran the numbers it was showing that my spine was pretty heavy, like a .4292, when I needed a 400 or something like that. To get it where it was saying no change necessary I was having to bring tip weight all the way up to 175. Now I do have some muzzy 50 grain brass inserts, but the shop that cut my arrows superglued in the factory inserts. I know I can get them out using heat and acetone, (being VERY careful) but is it worth risking the damage to the shaftsto do so? I don't mind the trajectory changing and going with a high FOC setup in the least, but don't know if jumping through the hoops is worth it.

It seems to be shooting okay as is, but I am kind of a perfectionist. What are your thoughts on it?
