I just got my hands on the new Gold Tip 1535 Traditional woodgrain shafts. They are 30.5" from throat of the nock and weigh 260 grs with nock and insert. That is about 8.5 gr/inch for a .600 spine!

They use the same inserts and nocks as the 3555, 5575 and 7595 trads. I just shot a bare shaft out of my 40# A&H and my 45# Sipsey Stick. At about 29.5" with a 125 gr point they shot just slightly weak. With feathers, they should be about perfect.

I've been looking for a carbon that would work at light weight and short draw. I shoot around 30# plus/minus a bit. Do you think they'd work for that or still be too stiff? Anyone make a carbon with 700 spine?

Dick...yes ...they are pricey ...easton makes a redline carbon target shaft in lighter spines... even lighter than 700...they are just over 6 grains per inch.....

My daughter is shooting .600 spine and she draws 27"s and shoots 37#s at her draw, shafts are cut to 29.5"s and she shoots 175 up front for perfect flight. Shawn

I just orered 2 dozen. I currently shoot G/T ultralight entrada 600 with 75 grains of rope inside and a 125 grain head on top of 100 grain brass inserts out of my Quinn 45# @ 27.5", my arrows are 28&1/4" long and they fly great. I'll chime in when I get these and we'll see how they do.

Got the shafts cut to 28.5", fletched and footed this weekend. They actually shot a little weak with the 100 grain inserts and 125 grain heads. I had to add a toothpick inside my shelf to get good flight but they shoot great now and fly really well. Footed with 2.5" of 2117 and 1/4" @ the nock, wrapped with 8" of reflective tape and 3 5" feathers they came in @ 530 grains.

I am not being a jerk but I don't understand the buzz on these 15-35's. They already had a 600 spine arrow. Am I missing something other than a little more weight in the arrow rather than adding it with a weight tube of some kind.
