I agree with Troy. If you have a center shot recurve you' ll want heavier spine weight because you don' t have to deal with the archers' paradox. Whereas longbows require relatively weaker spines so the shaft can flex about the riser. A heavier head will result in weaker spine also, so you' ll need a stiffer arrow to compensate. You' re pulling about 53# so if you have an arrow that' s 55-60, you don' t have much clearance. eh I' m not an expert either, but you might want to start at 60-65 and 65-70 to see what' s working better. The drawback of shooting an arrow that' s too heavy will be your arrows hitting left. The reason they' ll hit left is ' cause they won' t flex enough so they' ll just push outward. The opposite is true of weak spine. Just don' t shoot them with broadheads first. eh. Try bare shaft tuning with field points. If bare shafts shoot where you want them to, then you' re alright.
