what size carbon?

[diamondrules]

im currently shooting 2016's cut to 29" out of my 55@28 long bow. I want to swap to carbons. what would be a good size? thanks

PJ, I would start with .400 spine arrows (55/75) with someehere between 150-200gr up front. You are gonna have to play with length and exact front end weight to get it right.

400 or 500s really you will have to try several with different weights up front

What's wrong with 340s?

500s w/175 grain points worked for me with 55@30.

Way too stiff for a 55# stick bow.

Thanks man. I didn't catch that

My best arrow flight is from the GoldTip 3555's.
I shoot bows from 50# thru 55# @ 28" with the arrows cut 29.5"
My DL is 26.5" give or take a smidgen.

Disclaimer: the actual length of a Smidgen varies according the eyesight of the onlooker.

.500 spine if you want to shoot 125-175 points and .400 if you want from 175 and up.

I draw 27" and shoot a 57# Dwyer longbow. I use GT35/55s cut 30", with 100gr brass inserts, 200gr points...total arra weight is 570gr. Fly like darts, bareshaft, at 20 yards.
