Quality isn't an issue, so get them made the right length and you should be golden! Being slightly over spined will only (generally)cause you to be a shade right (assuming you are right handed), while being under spine can cause you to hit left, and from my experience it can be a little or a lot, depending on the particular arrow you pull out of your quiver. I think it is always better to be a little over spined when you have to make a choice between being under or over.

And in addition, if you are that worried about your spine being too stiff at 55 lbs and 28 inch arrow, bump your point weight up to 125 grains. A 125 grain fixed broadhead out of a 55 lb bow will blow through any animal in North America

I agree with Norm that slightly over spined is ok. My set-up as per the Gold Tip spine chart, should be a 340 spine. Bowtech Reign 6 at 66 lbs. But for some reason it tunes perfect with 300 spine Gold Tip XT Hunter.

This is my second bareshaft at 20 yards after a couple twist to the yokes.
