You could always drop a pound or two and shoot at 67-68. That solves a slightly weak spine real quick.

No, I guess I figured that there must be stiffer arrows. I know that the 7595 is as stiff as GT makes them, but If I can buy a bow with 80# and even 90# of draw weight, there must be arrows to buy for them.

Expedition and XT 7595 is supposedly a 340 spine. They are mostly what you see in shops because that's what shops can sell. That doesn't mean GT doesn't have stiffer shafts.

Viagra??? 
That might stiffen the shaft!!!! 
Ryan,
You got a few fixes for it, I think I'd go with the drop a couple pounds or maybe use a 100gr tip rather than the 125, whichever hits the spine right. I'm sure you'll have it figured out without too much effort and frustration.

RE: Will I be spined properly?
Thanks for the help guys, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't out in left field. As long as Iam close, I can drop the # or make any small adjustments needed.

Rybohunter, you dont need new arrows , the 7595 at 28 inches with the specs you gave are actually in the high green area or even slightly high spine according to OT2. They will work excellent for you. Here is what OT2 showed for your setup when I put the numbers in.

RE: Will I be spined properly?
I don't have OT2 because I have a mac. I could run it in VMware Fusion which lets me run Windows, but I'm not going to because I don't want viruses. Can you guys run the numbers for me? I cannot see any porpoising in the arrow flight, but that could be because it is going too fast and I have terrible eye sight.
2008 Bowtech 82nd Airborne 73#, 29"DL (335 fps)
Carbon Express Maxima 3D Select 350 (cut to 28")
Allen 100 grain bullet style field point.
4" LW straight feathers.
CX nock
No nock collar
Total arrow mass: 369.5 grains
I do not know what exactly needs to go into this thing, so I gave you everything that I thought you would need. If I missed something, just let me know.
I seriously hope that this comes out as good as his did because I like how consistent these arrows are.
If they are too weak or strong, I would probably try to fix this by changing the length of the shaft and since I am going to be getting new arrows with my Christmas money, I could have them cut to anything from uncut (full length) to 27". If changing the length cannot fix it, I guess I would be willing to change arrows. Let me know what you recommend, but realize that I'd like them to have a consistency of .001, just like the 3D selects. Price doesn't matter.
