Bob, all my arrows are close to 30.5" BOP. All RRA tapered cedars, & all have 125 gr pts (both brd hd & target pts). My draw length is somewhere around 30" & I have too many bows. LOL!

poundage an additional .74389" of draw adds? LOL

Tox, given a steady 2 1/2# increase in draw weight per inch, your extra length would yield a whopping: 1.859725 lbs! Hehehe!! (I couldn't help that guys...LOL!!)

Vic,
You beat me to it! I was going to give him a range of 1.85973-2.23167# for a range of 2.5-3#/". I love it!

For my 57#@28" CM Firebird I have been shooting 28.5" XX75 2114s with a 100 gr Steel Force broadhead. With the Fox longbow that is on the way, I will be shooting ??????
Vic,
Any suggestions for my 28" drawlength?
Thanks!

I shoot a checkmate recurve and lb both around 55lbs @ 32" draw. I use RRA POC tapered arrows with 3-5/12" high profile shield cut helical feathers. My arrows are around 32" BOP and are 55-60's. I use a 125grn field point and 125 grain Steelforce Glue-on BHD. This may sound a bit weak of an arrow but i have the ability to be able to get to bare shaft alot of different spines of shafts with BHD's on them. This combination works best for me. When it comes to wood shafts its Rogue River Archery for this me all the way!.......Jaw
