I use them for my 57#@28" Tall Tines. Mine are cut 30.5" long with 100 grain insert and 125 grain point. They fly great for me out of this bow.

I use 'em out of some of my 55# and up bows. I put a 200 grn. head up front and they fly fine. I use them for my huntin' arrows and let my ADs sit at home. I really like the Gold Tips. [thumbsup]

I shoot them, full length, out of a 68# widow longbow. They fly great. Got 225 up front between brass insert and broahead.

After doing the Stu Miller calculator, I am going assemble today some GT7595's at 30"BOP with 100ginsert +125 point and external footing for my 59@28 Predator, which I draw to 28 3/4. The program shows this to be about perfect; looking forward to trying it out.

I would figure they are pretty stiff. I use them with my trainning wheels and it is #70@28.5.

I shoot them at 31" out of my 80- 85 lb bows. I put 400g up front. They will bare shaft to 30 + yards. Farther probably if I could hit a bag that far.

I would also think they are way too stiff. But might work with that 66#'er..

I've tried them full length, with almost 400gr. up front out of my 63# kwyk Styk and they were still too stiff. And my bow is cut way past center.

Big Jim's set-up is what sounds just right to me for such a stiff arrow...

But hey, everyone is different [dunno]

I think you should listen to your Dad and leave that Schafer on the wall for a little while longer. [bigsmyl]

I use the 75/95 shafts as well. I shoot a 70# recurve with a 31" draw. The 55/75 shoot pretty good, but just a little better arrow flight with the 75/95's. Probably because of the longer draw.
