30"+ draw length, 55-60lb Recurves, What Arrows do you shoot.

Looking for some examples of your arrow set ups for guys who shoot Recurves with the long draw.

Arrow spine
Arrow models
Lenghs
Tip and insert weights

Thanks

I use AD trad lites because they are so versatile and flexible with point weight.  I've used anything from 150-250 up front. Good luck.

With my 31" draw and a 59lb black widow .300 easton FMJ bare shaft perfectly, they are cut to 32" with 100gr. brass insert and 1.5" of 2016 aluminum footing.

Full length GT Traditional 75/95 with 100gr brass inserts and 125gr broadheads. I'm pulling over 30" and around 60# maybe a little more, haven't put this bow on a scale yet.

Full length 300 beman ics/trad only on my 55# @28 drawn to just under 32". I think a 175-225 grain seems to shoot the best. I am not very good with tuning so take my numbers with a grain of salt...Steve-O would be a much better go by.

I would think that a long 340 or 300 spine carbon would be a good choice depending on how much point weight you want to use.

I agree with Kerr and that's about what I'm using.

31 1/2" 2216 with 125gr. tip would most likely work.

Wes Wallace Mentor 54@28 drawn to 30 or 31".
Full length beman classics .340. Basically what Steve-O said. Still need to tune it, but I'm guessing it's going to have a 200-250 gr pint up front with a 50gr insert.

I shot 340 Beman ICS bowhunters out of my Howatt Hunter: 55+lbs @30".
IMO 300's would be too stiff at the low end of your poundage, unless you went quite FOC, but not an expert.

I shoot 32 in arrows, usually beeman ics 300s rebel hunters75-95 or cx 350s and my schafer is about 65-66lbs at my 30 in draw. 200 grn point any heavier shows weak. I have found that most .300 spine arrows work at the heavier longer draws with varing point weight.

Sounds like my setup, I favor 2020 Aluminums.
