IF they cut your arrows for use with broad heads? then they did not "screw" up your arrows. Arrows are usually cut 1" longer for broad heads so people don't cut their fingers off. If you have a an overdraw etc. then that is different.

I run 28.5" arrows and my draw length is 27.5" with a capture rest, with field points and broad heads.

Changing tip weight, feathers for vanes, longer shorter vanes, adding forward weight etc. ALL affect the spine of your arrows. Buying a couple good archery books will save you TONS of money and help answer a lot of your questions.

P.S. 5# will do very little for your arrow speed or penetration, what it will do? is cause you to perhaps start making errors in your forum IF you over bow yourself. A GOOD, clean, sharp, broad head in front of an arrow that flies straight and true will fly faster and out penetrate most increases in draw weight.
