I shot 55# bows for many years and prefered 70-75's. My draw was 28 and arrows cut to 29 1/2 with 125 or 150grn heads  :archer2:

I'll have to contact James to see how he's doing. I'm hoping to see him again at the Classic. I've known James for over 25 years.

Static release is more stable during follow through.
Yes I have shot that way most of my life  :archer:

I would agree with Orion. Before I saw the 3/16 past center I would have thought you were too stiff but that changes things.

Given it's cut past center, I suspect you're also shooting a low stretch string on a fairly high performance recurve or hybrid.  Given those features, and if you're shooting a standard weight head, say 125-145 grains, either will likely work, but I'd go with the heavier of the two in a 11/32 shaft, the lighter in a 23/64 shaft. If you plan to shoot a heavier head, definitely go with the heavier spine.

I have spine question about wood arrows.i have bow that is 55# at my draw length 27.50 and my arrow length is 28.50 bop . Curious on arrow spine recommendations I was thinking 70-75 or 65-70 , oh the bow is cut 3/16 past center.thank you for any input.

The Shooters FORM Board / Static release
Last post by Rons - Today at 01:11:17 PM
Well I have a static release they call it , instead of a follow thru style. Maybe there is a little follow through , does anyone else have this style of rerelease ? It is consistent for me .i heard people say , oh you have to do it this way or else. Don't know been shooting traditional archery maybe 50 years , don't snap shoot and shoot Mediterranean  . Got a solid anchor point .

I had an old Hummingbird Kingfisher that I've owned for 30 something years. I decided to get it out and hunt with it last year but forgot it was 60# at my draw. So I began the quest to try to get a hold of Ben or Linda to see if I could get a new set of lower pound limbs made for it since I'm older and I hold longer now. Finally got a hold of Linda and she sent me to James Parker that just so happened to live about 30 minutes from me. James had to make a new mold for the limb mounts because mine were so old. James did a great job and I ended up killing 2 deer with it last year. The last time I talked to James he was having some heath issues but I don't know how serious it was. Good luck!
