Hey guys my new falcon is on the way I am shooting #55@28" mydraw being 28"and my arrow will be cut to29"now I believe its cut to center if not a little past so what does that do for me? should I go with a 2016 or a 2018 aluminum and what weight tip should I start with? Thanks

The Falcon is cut about 1/4" past center. I'm not up to date on aluminum arrow spine, but I'd start with a 125 grain point. www.arrowsbykelly.com has a pretty good spine chart to get you started.

Is that 55 at 28"? Or is it 55 at your 30" draw? If 55 at 28 you'll be drawing closer to 61#'s. The shelf being cut past center will require a stiffer spine arrow. And your arrow cut to 30" will need to be a stiffer spine as well. Arrows are spined at 28". Decrease the spine weight 5#'s for every inch over 28" so at 30" an arrow spined at 50/55 is actually 40/45.

If you're going with easton aluminum arrows you're going to need to go up to the 2020's or 2315's. Some where in that area. The shelf cut 1/4" past center at 55# at 30" draw and a 30" arrow will need a spine close to 65/70. It may need even more because of the shelf cut.

I have a 28" draw with a arrow cut to 29" Sorry I screwed up in my first post and i corrected it anyway's LBR acording to that spine chart on the link you posted I should shoot the 2016 aluminum, does anyone know what the gpi are on those shafts (XX75)

Okay, 55 at 28" with a 30" arrow and shelf cut 1/4" past center and a 125 grain tip. I suggest an arrow spined in the 65/70# range. But with the arrow cut to 30 and the shelf cut past center you may need 70/75# spined arrows. XX78 2314's. Is there a bow shop close to you where you can shoot different spined arrows? That would be the best bet.

Hi, i'am shooting a samick deerslayer recurve, 55# at 28 draw, i'am shooting 2018 arrows tipped with a 125 grain head and my arrows fly like darts, my arrows are 30 inches long, start off with a longer arrow and cut shorter as needed.
