Recently built a set of " Easton" XX78' s in the 2219 size @ 32" for friend. He purchased the shafts out of Florida. The shafts were 35" long before cut and fletched with 4" feathers.

He is shooting a 62" TD Recurve @ 45 lb w/ Fast-Flight string, off the shelf, but his draw length puts his DW at approx 51 lbs. Bow has an 8.5" brace.

Prior to shooting these shafts, he was shooting 31" Easton 2413 XX78' s loaded with 125 grn heads. He was having left impact problem and small in-flight bobble.

We were concerned about the 4" fletch (feather) but thought he would shoot some test rounds before refletching with 5" feather. Within a few shots he was banging the center so tight at 15 and 20, he had to open his group to prevent cutting shafts.

The drop variance off the previous POA was obvious, but the flight was " slip-stream" clean and the shafts were " whacking" the target. He said he would live with the greater trajectory and a slower shaft for the flight and penetration energy he is now getting.

Art P had originally suggested 2216, but I bumped the size because of the " Fast-Flight" string and because friend might lengthen string to a 7.5 brace.
