I shoot the 7595 3D Pros cut to 28.5 and fletched with 3 4" feathers. I use 125 grain Stingers. My bow is setup at 65#'s and these arrows fly beautifully. This should be very close to the weight you want and they do pack a PUNCH, especially with those Stingers.

JMAC

PS Forgot to add, I have used the weedeater string too (when I had 5575's), and it works great.

This is about identical to my setup and they do fly great.

Jmac I am glad to hear that your setup works. I will be cutting my to either 28.5 or 29. I am also thinking about the 125 head instead of the 100.

Contenderman I do not know anywhere around here that sells them. I was actually planning on ordering them from eders.com. They have them for $89.50 for the Hunter Pro's in camo. The camo is 9.7 gpi and the black are 8.6 gpi. The black are $79.50. Both prices are for the raw shafts.

Has anyone had problems ordering arrows from eders?

Doesn't GT have some type of internal weighting thingy? I was thining they did...

As far as too stiff, you'll hear both sides, but in my experience, if you are shooting a release and a center shot bow, too stiff is no problem whatsoever, and in fact can even be better as the arrow quits vibrating quicker.

That's what Bob Ragsdale thinks too...
ol Bob is finally beginning to listen to me I see

I think the guys already gave you all the good answers: 7595's are fine for your setup. I now shoot 28.5" 7595's with a 63# bow and they group perfectly with my 100gr WASPs out to 50 yds.

I am shooting the same rig (with fieldpoints) for 3D, but will try some 75 gr tips to get the weight down a bit this weekend. Pushing the FOC, but hopefully she shoots ok....

Cheers,

Greg

Ive only ordered arrows from eders once. They did a fine job on the arrows I got which
were the Gold Tips. They seem like good people to deal with. JMHO

Thanks dsheally. That is pretty much what I have heard on other threads. Guess all I need now is the money to get them ordered.

I shoot the XT hunters in 7595 cut to 29.5 with 3 NAP quickspins and also shoot 125 grain stingers with bow at 70#'s and I have never felt the need to try a different arrow after the GT's. IMHO, great arrow for the money, tough, and they fly/group incredibly well.

I've had 3 setups shooting 65lbs and I never could get the 5575's to tune worth a ship. The 7595's have been perfect for paper tuning and bare shaft tuning. Same with the Beman ICS's , the 340's shoot much better. I have a 29 1/2" draw and shoot 29" arrows.
