Mine are cut 29 1/2 and fly clean and straight.I also shoot 65/70 tapered woodies 29 1/2 BOP and 150gr heads.

CE 150's should work just fine. I have a 49#@28 TC and it shoots 150's and 250's just fine. I think they are cut at 30" ... I shoot about a 170 grn Simmons Bhead and 145 grn field points.

You will like this bow ... congrats

Great looking bow!!!!!! Looking at the pictures of it strung up I was just wondering what you have the brace height set up at. Thanks John

Man, you gotta love those wood choices. The braced profile looks sweet!

primitivealltheway · « **Reply #16 on:** January 28, 2012, 06:52:00 PM »

Very nice.

Sweet TC !!!

Jim's Thunderchild has a great profile!!

You're kind of a tweener and it depends on how heavy or light you want to shoot? A full length 55/75 with a good load up front or 35/55's cut shorter with less up front. I think you could get both to fly well out of your TC... You could tune an arrow to be 8 1/2 gpp to 13+ gpp by adjusting tip weight and length. Shooting style also changes the equation. I shoot with almost all my bows a weaker than recommended spine? Go figure but that is what works "for me" …. Get some and let some bare shafts fly ... my 2cents

Congrats and good luck
