What arrow and spine?
I am shooting a Mathews Outback with a 28" draw and set at 69lbs.I shoot a Qad Ultra drop away rest.When at full draw a 27" arrow gives me a little over an inch of arrow before my rest.Right now I am shooting CX 400 30.5" arrow and 125 grain tips.I would like to use a shorter arrow with 100 grain tips.Is this arrow correct for front of center and spine,Gold tip 5575 hunterpro 27 1/4" 4" quickspin vanes 100 grain point?Also if I stay with the CX can I shoot the above specs with a 300 or do I still need 400's?Thanks in advance.

BPS
CX doesn't know how to list their arrows like a normal manufactuer would list them.BY SPINE.They are actually backward,meaning the 400 is the stiffest and the 100 is the weakest.Unless you are looking at the Medallion series and I think they are listed correctly.450 being the stiffest and 1000
being the lightest.(I think)
So the 400 wouldn't be underspined because it is the stiffest shaft they make.[

Now for the spine question.According to their charts for the CX,you are at the breakover point between the cx200 cx300 so I would definately say to go with the CX300 if you like them.(I myself won't shoot Korean shafts)
It also looks like the 5575 will be fine,according to the charts.

The 5575's will be slightly underspined with the 100 grain head. I have similar specs and needed the 7595's. But now I'm using the 85 grain Slick Tricks with the 5575's and the flight, accuracy and forgiveness at least out to 35 yards, is unreal.

I would say if you cut your arrows to 27 1/2 inches , and use 100 grain tips , you would be close . You may have to take a half turn or so out of the limb bolts . No need to use 30 inch arrows with a 28 inch draw bow . That is if the arrows actualy have a .400 spine .

RE: HELP! What arrow and spine?
Mixed messages here,do I need cx 300 or cx400 arrows,and Gt 5575 or 7595 arrows for my specs.I don't want to lower the poundage.Also do the quickspins make a differance over regular vanes when fletched right helical?Specs again are Outback 28" draw 69 lbs. Quad ulta drop away rest.100 grain tips want to shoot a 27 1/2" arrow
