Default In need of suggestions for best shaft spine, ASAP!

I know this is not the way to select the right shaft for a individualized setup; however, the season is on and friend and I have determined -and " Arthur P" has correctly advised, that the shaft sizes recommended by Easton' s recent spine chart is not correct for a recurve; at least recent experience tends to indicate the chart is not correct.

Therefore, in order to expedite a change in shaft setup and quickly order some new aluminum (bare) shafts, we need to base the best choice of shaft size based on a popularity vote determined by personal use and experience, not what the spine charts recommend. Don' t have time to build and trial shoot a selection of spines

Here are the specs:

Bow 1:

A. 62" recurve, 45#@ 28" w/ shooter having 2" over draw to base of grip.

1. Fast-Flite string
2. Choice of shaft type and length is 32" Easton XX78 aluminum with uni-nock.
3. Shooting 125 grn. head.
4.Shooter is using broadhead adapter (glue on head) that weighs 26 grains.
5. Finger shooter.

Bow 2:

A. 64" recurve 45#@ 28" w/shooter having 2" over draw to base of grip.

1. Dacron B-50 16 strand string
2. Choice of shaft type and length is 32" Easton XX78 aluminum with uni-nock.
3. Shooting 125 grn. head.
4. Finger shooter.

If you are shooting the above specs or near the above specs, what shaft size are you shooting and getting good flight?

Thank you for your input.
