I just bought a 55# 60" Hoyt Buffalo. I have some 5575 Gold Tip Traditional carbon arrows. I wanna use 150 grain tips. My draw length is 26". What length arrow should I try. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Might be too stiff for your setup and draw length. Leave them full length and go from there.

That is going to be stiff I think. Start very long and don't be in a hurry to cut. Do you have any 100 gr. inserts? Heavy inserts would help you tune them and get the length down to something reasonable.
Thanks guys
Look into bareshaft tuning. Carbon arrows benefit from extra weight up front when tuning.... 300 grains or more of tip weight is not unusual.
A well tuned arrow with extra weight up front has some real advantages for penetrating game.
I've shot 5575 arrows with 100 gn inserts and 200 gn points out of 55# longbow with good success. This got arrow down to 28.5 inches.
