Default Looking for right shaft size, any help?

I am shooting a Browning single cam compound with 55#, and I have been shooting 2216' s, but I would like some real help, and not just what I think would work.

The 2216' s might be a bit stff, but left long may work. 2117' s might be a better choice...leave them long and tune appropriately.

Nice chart.... Can someone help me understand what it means?

I shoot an old PSE Edge 1000 lefty bow (65#, 30" draw). I shoot 31" Easton XX-75' s, size #2315 with 125 gr tips.

I entered in #2315 into all the fields, 4" fletching, 3 fletchings, 31" arrow length, and so on, and so on, and it came up with these figures:

Arrow weight: 557grn
Calculate FOC: 10.5%

......' Splain, Lucy!
