Those of you that shoot the 35/55's what length? overall weight with point and added weight and bow do you shoot and. re you happy with them
30.5" with 27" draw, 125 gr point, std insert. Weights around 430 grains. Shoot a Titan III with BF Extreme limbs 45# limbs. I love them, very tough arrow.
29" arrow, 27 1/2" draw. Three fletch 4 1/2" feathers, 100 grain brass inserts, 125-175 grain point. About a 520-570 grain arrow.
Shooting about 51# at my DL.
Yes. I really like 'em!
32.5" arrow at 29.5" draw. 52 grain long insert and 125 grain points. 4" parabolic. Shoots from my Cayuga 35# @ 28". Prefer the 1535 at 30.5 though, with same insert and point.
Reason I'm asking is because I have 30inch with standard insert and 50 gr weight with 125 head and they show weak for my 48lb longbow I pull about 28.5. Will taking 1/2inch off stiffen it up you think????
Cutting them should stiffen them but it seems carbons respond better to point weight changes . I don't cut my carbons anymore.
I'm shooting a HH Wesley longbow 50#@28"
30" 3555 standard insert 175gr point , 3 Fletch 4" parabolic. Love em.
From my bear Alaskan 50#@28" I have to move up to a 300gr point to get Good flight and accuracy.
I draw to 28. I shoot in the low 50's for poundage (52, 53).....I shoot a GT 3555 cut to 29.75. I use 200 grains of point weight, 4 4inch shield cut fletch, glued to an 8 inch wrap. Easton super 3d nock. Arrow weight is 530 grains. They fly like a dream and are proven in the field.
Cutting off a half inch can REALLY stiffen your arrow....be careful. I would go with cutting less ( 1/4 at a time) till you get it nailed.
The other option to increase the dynamic spine would be to be a 1 to 2 inch aluminum footing on the front end of the arrow. 2117 work on 35/55
I find the 3555s respond much better to length change than to point weight change. Cutting 1/2" off will make a huge change. I would take off no more than 1/4" at a time and when it starts looking close, take off 1/8".
X2 on bladespeek's post-- in my experience carbons respond very quickly to cutting--- go slow no more than 1/4 inch once you get close. I also foot the gts and they take a lot of abuse once footed.
30 inch arrow with a 225 point and standard insert. Shooting it from a 45 lb Grizzly and drawing 29 inches so I guess its shooting about 48 lbs. I have not had better flight from any bow or arrow combo... ever...
29 bop 200 or 250 up front 1" 2115 footing std GT alum insert 540gr with 250 up front 5 or 5-1/2 3 fletch HH 55 @28 & 52 @27 both work
58
Two Kanati longbows #44and#45@26" 27" 35/55 expedition hunters with 3, 5" feathers and gold tip nocks. 100 grain brass insert with 150 magnus stingers
You can see the bows I'm shooting.
Arrows cut at 30" added 3gr. weight tubes, and points running between 145 to 160gr w/alum inserts.
5" left helical feathers and 9" wraps or painted.
my draw is at 28". toughest critter so far 200lb
hog with complete pass thru. Total weight around
540 to 560gr.
47#s at 25-1/2" Toelke Super D, may draw a touch over that.
29"BOP, 50 grain insert, 175 gr broadhead
I just recently changed to 15/35s, right at 10 grains per pound
Full length, 100 grain brass insert and 125 grain points. flys good for me from 40-55 # draw weight bows. It is a tad stiff for 40# and under, but it just encourages me to lengthen my draw to make them fly better.
I shoot 3555s out of my BW 51@ 28" cut to 29" with 225 grain up front they fly great for me. As stated above they respond well to being shortened, so take it slow. I shoot 3 5" parabolic on them also.
Exact same arrow set up as STICKBENDER98 out of my Holm Made River Runner 49# @ 27", and out of my Zipper Nitro 51# @ 28" same arrows only cut to 29 1/2"
I shoot a 53# MOAB longbow but only draw 27".
I use the 3555 GT's at 28.5" long, w/150 gr. head, and 100 gr insert.
Back end varies and don't seem to affect flight . I have some arrows w/wraps; practice arrows have 4" parabolics, and hunting arrows have 5" shields.
Bow: Dryad Orion
Riser: 17"s
Limbs: ACS RC Longs...43@28..actual draw...27 3/4"s
Arrow: GT3555...30.5"s...std insert...3x4" fletch...12 gn nock...95 gn pt...~357 gn total...bare share shafts nicely out to 40 yards.
Bob lee hunter.
53@28 (I draw 26", so +/- 47#)
Arrows are GT traditional 35/55 cut to 28", 50gra brass insert and 125gr point. And 3 5" shield cut feathers.
