What should I do?
I just bought some Gold Tip XT 3555 shafts. One of the twelve arrows hits with my field points. The others hit all over like a shotgun. 5" right, 6" left, 3" high, and so on. Should I get some more arrows since I'm overspined? The arrows are spin tested and have 0% wobble. What should I do?

According to GoldTip's sizing chart - you should be correctly spined if you have 27" arrow and 85 grain tip, slightly overspined with 100grain, and just overspined with 125grain.

I know it's a stupid question but have you tried broadhead tuning yet. You should be able to pull them closer than what you are describing. Also have you weighed you heads. I like to weigh every componet (tip, blades, and shank of braodhead) and make perfectly balanced broadheads. It's tedious but it helps.

Find somebody to buy those 3555's and go get some 5575's. Either that or back off your draw weight to 50#. Those are the only fixes you've got available. All the tuning in the world won't make those arrows shoot correctly out of your bow at that draw weight.
