Going with 3555 but need help
« on: December 19, 2007, 12:50:00 AM »
I started shooting the 2117 but decided to go with the GT Hunters 3555 and I need help getting the right weight for a 50# longbow at 29" and the right hunting tip.
I want to shoot the German Kinetics heads. The sound like great heads. And sharp!

I don't know what weight the Kinetics are, but my bow is about 50# and likes full length 3555 with 50 gr insert plus a 150gr head for a total of 200 up front.  
And I like 4x4" fletching, but that's more of a personal thing.
Easton 500 shoot even better with same stuff up front.

Shawn Leonard helped set mine up, I'm shooting 3555's out of my hill that is 47# @27" They are cut 29" have a 50gr brass insert 125 gr point I also put weight in them to bump to 525 gr. They shoot like darts.

but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

My experence for 50 lbs. and 3555s is 200-250 up front cut at 29 ins and three 5 in feathers is the ticket.
High on Archery.

My experience is about the same as the others.
I'm set up with #50 @ 29 inch arrow Iput 100 grns inside and 125 to 160 in the broadhead. I use 3 high profile 4 in parabolic. I like the idea that you can tune and use less feather on the carbons, save money on fletching.
