Tuning Dilemma! 5575 too weak- 7595 too stiff????

Yes, there can be slight variances arrow to arrow.
If you need to weaken the spine, another option apart from loading up on the point, is to is to use weight tubes.

gringol- do I understand correctly:  A footing increases spine of the arrow?  Had not thought of that but makes sense if correct.

I'd stick with the 5575s with your original tip weight, put on a bear weather rest or other means to build out your side plate and see what it takes to get them flying well for you.  That way you don't have to change your heads.

X 2 on what Xtrema and Bob@helle said.  Good luck.   I know this arrow tuning stuff can be frustrating at times.

Yes.  The footing keeps the footed portion of the shaft from bending and makes the arrow think it is shorter than it is.  The catch is that you have to put a longish footing on and will have to draw the footing onto the shelf.  I dont think that is an issue, but some people probably wouldnt like it.
