Stu's calculator help

[Roaring Reds]

Hi, could someone run my figures on stus calculator and tell me how close you can get my arrows. I have goldtip 3555 at 30 inch. and 29 inch draw. I can cut off a half inch. If this would help. I shoot a big jim thunder child #50 at 28 .  I would like to shoot heavy tips if i could. thank you guys for all the help!      

Oh i forgot shield cut standard and arrow wraps.... Thanks

If you cut to 29,5 inches you can use 145 grain tips and are spot on in Stus Calc. But that only gives you 8,2 gpp and 15% Foc.

If you draw a true 28" you can cut arrows to 29.75 inches, use 3 four inch fletches, 145 grain point and use a 12 strand FF string and be within a tenth of being on exact spine based on Stu's Calc. There are lots of factors though that we don't know.

1) How is your form?
2) Do you have a solid and consistent release?
3) Do you draw a true 28"
4) What are you hunting/are you hunting?
5) Are you just shooting for target set-up/3D?

And a whole other list that I'm sure I'm not even thinking right now. Other than that I think you'll be real close with what I mentioned but with almost identical numbers to what saumensch already posted.

Good luck, try it out, (there's no harm in trying it out), and see what works the best for you, your shooting style and form, and what you feel will provide the best, cleanest and quickest kill for your prey should you be hunting.

I pull 29 in.  Hunting thar and red deer. Form good and nice release. Need more weight up front though. Thanks for running the numbers. John

You MUST enter the correct center cut measurement, including the strike plate thickness, or the whole thing will be way off.
