ive been shooting gold tip 5575's out of my bear charge for a while now. My bow is a little loud so i thought i'd try my easton 2117's that i use for my trad bow. They shoot dead quiet out of my bow that is set at 60# 28" draw . I don't think they were spined right for my bow because every time i would shoot them the back of the arrow would tail to the right a couple inches but would straighten out before impact (they were also cut an inch to long). I know aluminum is old school but i used to use them (and actually got my first buck with them). I think i would rather have a quiet bow than a fast one. Can anyone suggest the right spine for me? (100 gr tips, 28" draw so 29" arrows, and 60# DW) thanks

do you really think by doing that ,that you will quiet your bow down?, i would def get one and try it first, it might be something else that is making your bow noisy!!

Yea i know this isn't the question but as a "new school" hunter I see little benifit in shooting aluminum. Be careful too I'm not sure how new that bow is but a lot of newer bows they say not to shoot aluminum because it puts too much stress on the limbs. Odds are that your noise is coming from something else. If you are talking about string noise then i like to put "spiders" on my string. I know a lot of people will say this is a no no because it slows your speed way down but from experience i dissagree. You need to be careful when looking at string silncers though. Make sure they are made of soft plastic whatever you choose. There are some that a hard plastic and said to be designed for high speed bows but its a crock. I had one pop my string after about 25 shots. There are a lot of ways to quiet your bow down without slowing it down more than 5 or so FPS.

yea thats why im asking. there heavier so they string and limbs aren't traveling at such high speeds so there is less noise, atleast thats what i think. regardless there 10x quieter. The bow is 2 years old. i don't understand how it could put more stress on the limbs when its making it shoot more smooth. After hunting with recurve bows i could care less about speed, but that's just my opinion though.

Actually most aluminum arrows will produce less stress on the limbs as they are typically heavier so absorb more of the bow's stored energy. The only downside to shooting aluminum is that they are obviously slower, but they also have a narrower spine tolerance. The only other thing is that thinner walled shafts will tend to bend more easily (.013 wall vs .016). Another is that, being heavier, they will carry more momentum to enhance penetration ( a good thing).

That being said, I think your specs call for an arrow somwhere between a 400 spine and a 340 spine. If you look at the Easton charts for aluminum somewhere on the right side each will have a spine rating, just like carbon arrows. Your 5575's have a static spine rating of 400 and if they are kicking then you probably should choose something closer to 340 or 350 spine.

So that would call for something like a 2216 or possibly a 2413 of you want a slightly lighter arrow. You can use Easton's shaft selector right on their website to verify this. I Used the arrows in Section I and any listed there should be good for you.

One other thing you might consider is staying with carbon, but picking something with more GPI (grains per inch), also in a 340 spine. The Gold Tip 7595 is an example.

thank you very much!

5575 are 8.2 grains per inch on the black shaft ones. There are a lot of carbons hevier than that. I would try them before going back to aluminum. Just IMO.

looks like nobody wants to answer your Question here is link so you can select a shaft http://www.eastonarchery.com/store/shaft_selector/
