gt5575 on a 44 lb bow question

[khardrunner]

Shooting a 44@27 Super Ghost, but I draw a true 29.75-30 inches. That would put me near 53lbs at my draw. So, can I use the longer (32 inch) 5575's that Big Jim has in stock? Stu's calculator says they would work out to the same dynamic spine as my current CE Predators 4560's that are only 30 inches.

Since my predators are only 30 inches, I'm afraid there may be some issues shooting broadheads :-(. So, I want to try a 32 inch arrow.

[BigJim]

I think you will be fine. will work best with about 200-250 or more up front.

That should give you an aproximate total weight of about 520-570g (depending on pt wt)

good luck, bigjim

I'll agree as well. I'm shooting Kanati at 43@28 and drawing 29 1/2" shooting GT 55/75 cut to 30 1/2 with 325 up front. Arrow don't get there fast but it also doesn't stop when it does arrive :-)

[Biathlonman]

All depends on the bow.  I've got a 46@28 i draw about 28 that shoots 5575@30.5" with 145-175 points and standard insert.  Never know till you try.  If I'm not mistaken 5575 have always been ~32", is the 3555 bigjim has that are longer.

[khardrunner]

Well I'll give them a try. Either way I need something longer than 30.

[Cherokee Scout]

I think you will be too stiff.

[khardrunner]

I can get up to 350 up front shooting 32 inch full length pulling 53lbs at my 30 inches.

Still stiff?

[BigJim]

Doubt you will be too stiff. You will need to leave full length and I doubt you will have to go that heavy.

Whadda you know Scout

The Super Ghost is cut to center, Ghost is not. I draw about the same as you, my Super Shrew is 53 @ 30", I shoot a CX 45/60 30" with 50g insert 200gVPA on a 100g adapter (350g). Its very deadly!

The 55/70 should work fine, the CX is about a .406 spine
