I been shooting my widow some its a 62" pl and 48@27 my draw length. I have some Gold Tip trad arrows. They are the 35-55 and 30" long. I have 100 grain brass inserts in them and 175 grain points. They shoot great. I also have 3 5 1/5 " left wing parabolic feathers on them...now for the crazy part.
I ran out of feathers and had some 5" parabolic right wing feathers. I fletched them up with a right wing jig 4 fletch and they fly CRAZY. Not even hitting the backstop at 20 yards crazy. I cut the feathers off one shaft with my knife and bareshafted at 15 yards and hit within two inches of my spot? Any answers?
Everytime I try carbons I get sick of`m quick. I think I`m gonna get some 2016`s or wood.RC

4x90, 60x120, 75x105? Try twisting your arrow nocks a little for better shelf clearance.

RC, I would say that they are too weak of spine for your setup, I shoot 46# @ 28" my draw length and my GT3555's are cut to 29 1/8 with a 50 grain brass insert and a 145gr point you will need to shorten them up to 29 to start and shave them down from there if you want all that weight up front.

Robert, I shoot nothing but left wing myself. For some odd reason, the right wings sound like a flu-flu going down range. Don't know what the problem is.

Robert, i too think there to weak im shooting a
28 1/2" arrow with 100 grain insert with a 125 grain tip ot of a 50# bow at 27" and it's not cut to center like your bow. i would first try a lighter point to see of that helps any

I wouldn't think they are weak if they are bareshafting that well. It would almost have to be contact. Try 3-5 inchers and see what happens.
Just to show how you can't generalize arrow spine, I'm shooting full length 3555's with standard inserts and 200 grain points out of 64#'s. They bareshaft perfect and fly flawless with big broadheads.
It's hard to factor in variables such as form and release.

dont give up so quick--experiment. 3 5" should work. as long as it is shooting like a dart bare shafting it is something little that will make you kick yourslef when you find it. stay with the carbons, they are good stuff--but you know that

You can hide a lot of sins with big feathers on a dry day, but if they get wet
