I'm shooting a new Shafer recurve 55# @28 with a Beemen 30" MFX carbon and a 145g tip. I was looking at the three rivers weight tubes and wanted to get opinions on them. The 8 G will bring me to around 650g total?

I shoot a Schafer tip recurve 55@27 axis 400 28.5" Tried the tubes and had some BAD flight from em.

I may have been doing something wrong - best I can say is buy a dozen, they are cheap, and see ow they do for you?? I am trying to find new ways to bump up arra weight! maybe try the grizzly stik parallels. 14gpi

Luck,

Jason

I shoot .500's out of a 54# bow. Why not just use 100 grain brass inserts and or 100 grain broadhead adapters? You will probably need that weight up front to get them to shoot right anyways.

Thanks, I will order several options and see what works best. Thought I would ask and find out what other people are doing and what works for them.
