I'm trying to find a good 550 spine carbon shaft - anyone have any suggestions?

You guys are faster than me going arrow to arrow on the internet looking...

Never heard of such a thing, though in checking a few charts, I was surprised how many choices are available between 400 and 500…. I’m used to thinking in increments of “100”….

Just add 50 grains to the end of a 500.

Thanks! This site is better than Google. I have 340's, 400s, 450s, and 500's. My lightest bows is barely tuning using a 500 with 95 grains of ethics system and a 250 tip. Its got a total of 345 up front and is still just a hair to stiff. I don't want to buy 600's because I know theyre gonna be too weak with any level of FOC. I like high FOC.

Also - I cut all my arrows to the same length because I like to feel the outsert hit my index finger at full draw. It's like a draw checker. So the longer arrow option although totally valid is not an option.

Thanks for your help.

Fleetwood ".600" shafts have averaged closer to .550 deflection on the ones I have spine checked...

I dunno… I think I have frustrations enough just with the differences between some of the different “6mm” IDs…. And then the Centershots…. Just different enough…

If Easton doesn't have it they probably have something close to it. I shoot 480's

myself.

There isn't enough of a difference in deflection/spine between a .500 and a .550 to matter since they both fall withing the same 5lb. spine group.

But that said anything that one thinks will help usually does.
