Well since deer season went out I have been working on improving my shooting form. One of the things I did was change my anchor. I went from 27 3/4" to 29". Here's my problem. My favorite bow is a 65lb @ 28" Dwyer long bow(not cut to center). I killed 4 deer with it this year and it has a special place in my heart. I figure I am now pulling to about 68 lbs at 29". I can't get a single arrow in my collection to fly out of it now. Most of what I have is carbons.... I have tried a GT 3555 cut at 29.5" to weak, a Carbon express 150 29.5" also to weak. A GT 5575 cut to 29 1/8" also to week.(I figured this would work since the bow is not cut to center but it still showed weak with the bare shafts. I am thinking that a Carbon express 250 would be in order here. What do you guys think? Anyone shoot a similar longbow set up...... weight/draw length etc. I really hate to spend another $100.00 unless I know they would work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You might try a thicker sideplate. Hap
If the GT 55/75's don't work, doubt the 250's will either, since they spine about the same. I would go to 350's and play with length and point weight. Have you gone down all the way to 125grn. points on the 55/75's? That might do it, or, as Hap said, move the arrow away from center. Good luck, Paul.
Scott,
call John at Sipsey River. He has some test packs of Gold Tips W/ all sizes. couple of each I believe. lot cheaper than buying a whole dozen.

Try what Hot Hap said first, before spending any money.
