30.5" 2117s with 160gr points at 29" draw out of a 42# @ 29" 60" Black Widow PSA-V tillered split finger works great for me.

I shoot a 45@28, draw to 27, with 3555's cut 29.5. I have onestringer wraps, four fletch, 100 grain brass inserts, and 145 grain heads. I shoot a 12 strand B-50 string, and seem to get really good flight. Good luck in your quest.

Well, woke up to a rainy day in July so, haven't had the chance to get out and tinker with the setup this morning. Appreciate all the input and will update as soon as I can get outside.

If all else fails, I would go heavier up front. On my RER and my Widow when I shot carbon express 45/60's I had 200 gr. field points up front the shot like darts. Both bows are 44# @ 29".

Finally was able to get out for some shooting. I got my brace height settled in at 8 1/8" and using the 125gr head things started looking better. Arrow does not appear to be hitting the outside shelf and flight was very straight. I also raised my nock 1/16" higher. Believe it or not, these things seem to have done the trick.
Once again, a big thanks to my Trad Gang friends and a special thanks To Ringneck (Shawn) for his assistance in running numbers for me.
So, overall setup is...Martin Dream Catcher, 60", 40# @ 28". I pull 29". GT XT Hunter 3555's cut 30" bop tipped with 125gr heads. Think this will do it boys and girls. :D

If you want to make darn sure, throw a big 2 blade broadhead on one of those fletched shafts. Then tear those fletches off of one shaft (with a field point) and see if they all hit together.
Good luck...
