RE: slow down?
Wyliescrib, i ran your numbers through OT2 and the 5575's showed weak spine at the specs you gave. Of course the 7595's showed overspine at the same specs. I was wondering if you could cut the 5775's shorter to 28 inches and still be safe as at this length the spine showed good. You mentioned that the arrows were kind of corkscrewing so I am thinking that you may need to do a little work on your bow yet. Very possibly your nock may be a little high and your arrow rest may need to be adjusted in or out a little more for fine tuning. Did your field points also do this cork screwing after you did the adjustments on your bow.

We used to call them Rubber ducks. They are a small rubber button about half the size of a pea with a hole through it for your bowstring to go through. If you don't use a loop, then they slide up the string against your arrow nock, and you clip on your release underneath it.

There is nothing worse than trying to help someone, spending hours looking stuff up, running numbers and trying to guess what might be wrong, then they don't appreciate any of it or don't listen anyway. Or in your case whine about it.
It's not uncommon for people to switch from aluminums to carbons and not bother adjusting the rest or nocking point when you need to because in most cases the diameter of the arrow changed, among other things.
Sounds to me like you should have just left things alone. You went from shooting a fairly forgiving set up with good arrows to shooting without a string loop and using cheap crappy carbon arrows with big ass fixed blade heads. Without actually seeing your set up and looking at it, and watching you shoot there isn't much we can do but sit around make guesses. Go back to the shop that sold you the arrows and set it up and have them help you. Maybe they won't charge you to do it?
That's about as honest and helpful as I can get for you.
Maybe you just don't shoot well enough to use that set up?
By the way I know of several other decent archery sites you can go to instead of this one if you don't like the help you get. If you want I can list them for you. Or you could just use a search engine. All the info we are giving you is already on the net anyway if you would take the time to look it up.
