Hey guys I am lost. I'm shooting a fedora 560 takedown at 52lbs at 28in. My dl is 28" also. My arrows are 5575 gt traditionals cut to 30" with a 125 gr point. They are about 400gr total. They are to light, should I get the screw in weights? Shouldn't they be about 500gr? Please help me determine what to do in terms of weight and actual length of arrows. I dont know if i'm even shooting the right arrows. Thanks guys

5575 gt traditionals means nothing to me. I you had said, "I'm shooting an arrow with a spine of 0.400..." Almost everyone here could help you.

I would find Stu Millers Dynamic Spine Calculator, that will really help in getting you close. If you do a search, you can find the latest. I'd say at 30", and a 5575 you would be able to bump up the point weight, with a cut to center recurve and be in the ball park. Those are I believe pretty heavy grains per inch shafts.

i knew they were 9- somethin, the 175 should get you close to 500. also a 35-55 might work better for 52#s..

The following links will help greatly. I feel tha the first link is kinda like giving you a fish. The 2nd link is teaching you how to fish.
My own knee jerk is that the arrow is too stiff for the bow. Longer arrows, more point weight, or weaker spined arrow.

I think you outta be shooting 3555's...but if you insist on a 5575, you best be loading up with at least 175gr up front....
I totally disagree that your 400 gr arrows are "too light" but I guess you'd rather shoot a front-heavy arrow max 20 yards than a light, quick arrow flat, a longer ways....

I agree you are on the stiff side. Being cut to center should help a lot. If they were full length they may be better. Since they are cut to 30" I'd try 100 grn. insert and heavy tips. It will up you're total weight where you want it and make you're bow quieter at the same time.
