Quick question for anyone...I currently shoot Gold Tip XT Hunter 7595 arrows with a shaft length of 29". Being in need of some new arrows I contacted the local outdoors store to get some more (different place then what I purchased the original arrows from). I typically shoot while hunting around the 70lb range. I was told that I should switch over to the 5575 arrows and that they don't even carry on hand the 7595's due to now one really shooting them.

What is anyone's thoughts here? Switch over to the 5575 or stick with the 7595's? I shoot well with the 7595's but is there any advantage/disagvantage of switching? Would like to support the local economy. Thanks in advance.

I don't know those arrow numbers personally. In fact I got new arrows with my new bow & don't even know the numbers, but I'd try calling another shop or three & see if they tell you the same thing. I switched from aluminum to carbon a few years ago & didn't have to change my sights hardly at all.

WaveWacker; I was looking in my archery catalog at Goldtip arrows. If you are shooting 29" arrows with 100gr tips your bow poundage should be anywhere from 55lbs to 75lbs. If shooting 125 gr heads then poundage should be between 50 and 70lbs. If your bow is in this range, you should be ok. The 5575's will definately be faster but the spline should be ok...according to their Goldtip's chart. Hope this helps

WW,

I have a few questions for you. What kind of bow are you shooting(brand and model)? What is the axle to axle? Draw length? Broadhead/fieldpoint weight? Type of cam on the bow(hard, medium, soft, solo cam)? Do you shoot with a release or fingers? If you shoot with a release is it a caliper style or rope release? Do you shoot with an overdraw on the bow? If you answer these questions before I head out of the country tomorrow I can correctly determine what arrows are better spined for your setup.

Thanks,
Russ

guys, not sure about the gold tip numbers, but the numbers on an easton arrow mean this... the first 2 numbers are the (i think diameter) of the arrow in thirty seconds of an inch. the 2nd pair of numbers is the wall thickness of the arrow in thousanths of an inch. example: i shoot a 2216 arrow. it is 22/32 of an inch (i think diameter) and 16 is 16/1000ths of an inch wall thickness
I was told this by the easton company a while back, i hope i got it in the right order, if not you got a general idea

------------------
this is just my 2 cents

Pooh,
For Goldtip arrows they use a much different numbering scheme. They call an arrow a 7595, which means that the arrow is rated for a 75-95lb bow while a 5575 is rated for a 55-75 lb bow. It's simple but uneffective as cam type, bow geometries, tip weights....etc. do a great deal in determining the correct arrow spine along with the draw weight. The numbering scheme they use will get you close but there are many more variables in the equation that become ignored in that type of system. I have a program that I can enter all of the variables in the equation and I will obtain a much better answer to what arrow I should use and to what degree.

No problem pooh!!! It would be nice if there was a general arrow numbering scheme between all arrow vendors. This would take a lot of the confusion between brands. I have to say I prefer the Easton number scheme once I learned what it meant.

Going to 5575's will cut down total arrow weight by about 20 grains. I assume you have 4" vanes on these arrows. Do you use a 125gr point? If you are using 100gr points? If so your FOC (Front of Center balance point) is pretty low (7%). How do your broadheads fly with the 7595's? I'd guess your shooting expandables because fixed blade broadheads would be a....to tune. I think you'd be better off shooting 5575's, higher FOC and more stable arrow flight (in theory). Bow specs, fingers or release shooting, tip weight, feathers or vanes--this info will give you a better idea what to use. Best of Luck!

Thanks Fellas!

I shoot (hunting) around the 70lb mark with 4" veins, with a release, 29" draw length, no overdraw, 100gr. expandables, that's all I know off the top of my head.

I feel rather confident that the 5575 are going to work out for me. Talked extensively with a guy that is a bow hunting fanatic this weekend about it. Thanks again.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      Problems with Yetti

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
