Is that 30 inches your draw length or your arrow length?

If you actually draw 30", I´d say you gain about another 5 or 6 lb.

A 30" 2018 with 150 gr. points,should work depending on your draw length,and that arrow probably weighs around 550 grs..A 2016 with a 125 gr. point would be a good one too and give you an arrow around 480-490 grs.Try shooting one of your arrows bare with your fletched arrows and see how they fly and group.I've shoot 2018's with 145 gr. points out of my 50#@27 Savannah,they shot great,but I have switched to lighter 490 gr.arrows to get alittle flatter flying arrow.

Just measured my arrows, from the inside of the nock to the insert is 30 inches.  I know when he measured my draw lenght he said 30 and was going to add 1/2 inch?  He also teste draw weight on a scale and said it was 50/51lbs
