I'm  gonna set up some MFX's 29" long spined for 60#'s in the next few days. I hope to get around 650grains total, so I'll let you know how it works out. If I find the right arrow I'll send you one to play with

OK, got a chance to shoot a CE Heritage 250 at 28.25" bareshaft(with a wrap) with 225 up front(regular insert). It flew ok, and ended up nock right after the impact. I know this isnt the "planing " method, but I only have one 250. Should I fletch it and carry on? What does nock right typically indicate? Im having one continuous brain fart on this whole thing...
The MAJOR difference was my ability to shoot with less canting(had to cant a lot to keep the 2216's on the shelf).

Im just trying to figure out a general idea of what kind of arrows to order...any help GREATLY appreciated, as I am compiling numerous ideas and trying each that I can. Thanks everyone.

Too stiff. You could add more weight up front or just get a CE 250 29-30 inches and you should be in the ball park.  Good luck and let us know what ends up working for you! Thanks.

I have a bow with the same specs.  I only have a 26 1/2 inch draw and I am cutting my shafts to 27.5, but I am using Beman MFX Classics 500 spine with 210 up front and they fly great. Just information to give youself a comparison.  Sounds as if you may be a tad on the stiff side.

I just shot some 50/55 woodies(fletched arrows) and WOW. I think Im on to something...lower spined, but the flew great and hit just a tad bit right.

Thanks for the input guys.

My Super Shrew Delux is 56@27". I shoot cedars spined 60-65 cut to 29inch. I also use 2216s with a judos for roving. I am no arrow tech but these arrows seem to fly straight for me.  :)    :wavey:
