Ok- has ANYONE had success in cutting carbons shorter than 29"? Not that I disbelieve those who say you can't do it, but in the name of the proverbial "second opinion," does anyone out there believe I'm NOT screwed with these cut at 27.5?

I have Gold Tips cuts to 28 and 28.5" that work great, but I shoot 100 grain inserts and 300 grain points, and I'm shooting them out of a 68# recurve pulled to 27", and my bow is cut nearly to centre.  Your arrows are way, way over-spined for that bow.

Throwing your numbers into the calculator, 300 grain points should make your 150s fly well.
