29.5" draw.  I shoot a 30 1/4" GT 5575 with 100 gr. brass insert and 100 gr. head out of my 60" MOAB and my Fire Fly.  I shoot the same arrow with 125 gr. head out of my 62" MOAB due to it being cut out from center more than the other bows.  I am also shooting about the same arrow in a Beman hunter, but it is kind of light for my liking.  

I am working with some CE250's shooting them at 31" with 100 gr. brass and I think 125 or 145 points.  This doesn’t  calculate right, but it is flying right on for spine with the GT and Beman.

Bow weights at my draw length are listed in my signature line.

29.5" draw, on a Palmer takedown 50@28, so right around 57-58 at full draw.  I shoot 23/64's weighing in at right around 500grs(full lenght) spined at 70-75, cut to a little over 30.5".  I order them from Jim Curlee I think from Minnesota.  Crested and full length dipped. Use Ace 160's with 5" LW.  Hope this helps if you're looking at using wood!
Stickbows, Sidelocks and Flyrods, anything to make it more of a challenge!

64" Tolke Super-D.  54@28"  I draw 30".  Beman black max 500 and 125 grain Magnus stinger 4 blades.  I am gonna work up a heavier arrow but had these and they shoot real nice.  Can't imagine the bow being much quieter but I like 10 grains per pound.  I think I could get by with the same arrow and 100 grain insert which would make it close to 10 gpp.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

I have a 29.5" draw.  I shoot either a Roy Hall Caddo Longbow 62" 54#@28 or a Bob Lee Hunter Recurve 62" 50#@28".  I shoot the same arrows in both bows and both bows shoot the SAME IDENTICAL SPEED!  Arrows are: Easton 2117's 30.5" with 125gr tips and 3 5" parabolic feathers.  Easton or Beeman Carbon 400's full length with 125gr tips and 3 5" parabolic feathers.  Wood shafts full length same tip and feathers. Hope this helps.
