I've never gotten into the "science" of tuning arrows
I'll be shooting carbon arrows out of a 60# recurve with ~ 150 to 160 grain point . My draw length is 27"

What length shaft do i need to start with before I start trimming length down
Ben Pearson Cougar 40#
PSE Black Hawk T/D 55#
Bamboo backed Osage Self bow 57#
Ivory Hunter 60#

my guess is to start with full length shaft and go from there
If you profess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9

Not knowing any other info, I'd say that was a good guess!

Ken Beck's method for tuning arrows has always worked for me.

DXH

If you are drawing 27" you would be around 57lb. If you are shooting say a GOLD Tip Traditional in the 400 hundred class with 160 up front,full length which I think now is 30.5 inches you might fine that it is just fine. If the spine is weak just reduce weight up front or cut a quarter inch at a time off. Some will say an eighth inch at a time. My bow at 57lbs works great with that combo.
What gives me wings? Flying with my arrows over and over again. And never giving up...For giving up means not believing...
