If your trying anything over 40-45# spine you may fine the shafts to be too stiff. I’d suggest nothing over that spine and shoting them long (full length) to start with. You can always cut them off alittle at a time to find the right length. Make sure your nocking point onthe string is about 1/2″ above level to start with.

Thats my suggestions for a starting point.

One other thing, I doubt you will ever find a shaft that will shoot out of this bow and the recurve at the same time. The recurve will require more spine due to it most likely have a deeper sight window.

Thanks Troy. I will try this. I feel better. Thanks Again.

Had a few Goldtips 3555 and they work great. I was using 5575. One last question. Can 3″ feathers be used with traditional bows? I have read 4 and 5.

Try backing off just a tad and take another pic.

55#@28″ depends on the type bow, cut of the sight window, string used, ect., ect., ect.,,,,,

Don’t give up man!! Its not hard! Once you understand the concept of fishtailing&porpoising, you’ll be just fine! And make sure you read Troy’s advice CAREFULLY, for he is the Truth!
Good luck

Thanks

Can you show us a pic?
