Problem with inconsistency

5575 is about a 420 spine already....
Keep in mind if they werent cut to your length you are prolly to soft thus the reason why you were inconsistent. Possibility. Only one way to find out. Would have to cut 1 and I do mean just 1 arrow cut and then shoot it through paper. Looking for bullet hole or nock high left tear through paper off open top rest. After bullet hole through paper at 3 meters and 10 or so meters if both show same or extremely close. Go to target and check for consistency.
(Still just a start but a good one. Still recommend walk back tuning)
Your bow at 65 lbs and cut arrow to 29" will shoot through that bow perfect bullet hole. Or so it should. 5575 is perfect spine for your setup. Those XT's are great arrows.
Maxima 250's are basically the same spine other than arrow weight.(also a great arrow) Also being that they were cut down means you were closer to your spine.
So if I am reading this correctly.... you shot full length shaft 5575 through your bow and they were out of spine due to length. Shorten said 5575 XT's to 28.5-29"s and let me know how it works.
250's are a 440 or 450 spine as well.Last edited by RNTChris; 10-29-2013, 09:13 PM.

Yea the 5575 I bought when I was shootin my old bow and just shot them out of the box never bothered to cut them down. I'm down to 2 of those gold tips so will need some new arrows. So ur saying the gold tip should be fine and shoot better as long as I cut them down to length? And at a 28" draw what is a good length to cut too??

To follow up. The 5575 XT will shoot for your 28" draw length best cut at 29". Some may ask why I say 29"? Well I say that because it gets your broadhead out over or in front of your hand. Preventing you from cutting yourself on a high grip....(clearence). Also this will allow for the spine to be put closer to your setup weight and draw length.
Keep in mind this obviously will lighten your arrow so you will have to move your sight directionally up after shortening these.

I've shot kisser since day 1 and when I try to shoot a peep, my arrows do just what you say. Couple in a group and then spray city.
No offense but I totally disagree with ditching a peep entirely. Kisser is a great anchor point tool but used alone is not enough. Perfect peep height along with a kisser can be used. They both must be set properly. The reason a kisser is inconsistent by itsself is because it allows you to rotate your anchor slightly without the feeling of changing anchor points.
Most people use their hand in a specific point on the (1)side of their jaw that is consistent for them (generally slightly under jawbone). Then look through peep with (2) nose center of string and then if...(3) they have a kisser that sits at corner of lips where you would drool out of if you were sleeping lol.
