The spine of an arrow is not expressed in "weight" - it is the bow's pulling power that is expressed as a weight figure. The arrows must suit this weight.
Any bow takes a certain amount of force to draw back to the normal shooting position (usually with the string touching the chin and nose); this force is measured in x number of pounds - my own ash longbow is lighteweight at just 45 pounds draw weight.
In order for the arrows to fly true, they must have a certain amount of flexibility ("spine") to match the draw weight of the bow - if they are too flexible they will shoot off to the right, if too stiff they will go left of the target. This is due to the so-called "archer's paradox" where the arrow first bends itself around the bow handle and then continues to fly straight.

Can you use a 65-75 arrow with a 50 lb draw weight?
Your arrow should match the draw weight. In your case the "spine" or stiffness will be too much. Assuming the arrow was matched to begin with.
If spine strength is matched to the bow's draw weight what will be minimized during flight?
When spine strength is matched to the bow's draw weight, the optimized stiffness of the arrow minimizes arrow flex during flight. This reduces the oscillation of the arrow in the air and improves accuracy by ensuring that the arrow flies straighter towards the target.
What is another term for an arrows resistance to bending?
Another term for an arrow's resistance to bending is "arrow spine." Arrow spine refers to the stiffness of the arrow shaft, which affects how it flexes when shot from a bow.

How much does the spine weigh?
The weight of the spine varies depending on an individual's overall body weight. On average, the human spine weighs around 2-4 pounds.
How much weight can a spine support before it will break?
The amount of weight a spine can support before breaking varies depending on factors such as individual strength, health, and condition of the spine. In general, the spine can bear loads of about 4-5 times a person's body weight before experiencing damage. However, it is important to avoid putting excessive stress on the spine to prevent injury.
What is the diet modification of a patient with herniated nucleus pulposus?
Diet modification would be essentially losing weight to take any undue stress off your lower spine. The excess weight, particularly around the midsection or abdomen places more stress on your lower spine. Especially around the L4/L5 area of the lumbar spine. If you were to lose this weight, it is thought that by reducing this load, there will be less weight bearing stress on this part of the spine.
What are the advantages of the spine being curved?
It is stronger than it would be if the spine/vertebral column were straight.Allows for distribution of weight and flexibility of movement.
What is lordotic?
Lordotic refers to the "lordotic curvature" of the spine. Lordotic curvature of the spine is the natural curves of the spine (when viewed from the side) that allow for even weight distribution and optimal shock absorbing properties.

Arrow's resistance to bending?
Arrow's resistance to bending is due to its material composition, thickness, and design. Arrows are typically made from a combination of carbon, aluminum, or wood which provide strength and flexibility. The arrow's spine (or stiffness) also plays a role in resisting bending when shot from a bow.
What is the medical term for anterior curvature of the spine?
The medical term for anterior curvature of the spine is lordosis. It is a normal curve in the cervical and lumbar regions of the spine that helps distribute weight and maintain balance.
