My son shoots 1535 out of a 45lb bow with 150 up front.And they fly like darts and i shoot 3555 out of 60 plus pounds at 29" draw with 285 up front. I have used 5575 and i shoot to the right because they are overspined even with 300 up front.And i'm a lefty.So over spined arrows will fly to your left.But we are shooting longbows that are not cut to center. Most recurves are cut to center or past center witch makes them easier to tune.

My Dale Dye showed up the other day. She's 54# @28 and dacron string.
I wanted to try these "troubled" goldtips on the Dale Dye before I started experimenting with changing point weights. As advised, I did
spin them first and there was a very slight wobble to each broadhead which I immediately corrected.
This bow loves them! They fly like darts.
Maybe the bow is more centershot, not sure.

Next, I will experiment with different point weights to see if they get even better flight.
Thanks to all who had given me advice..........Philip

I'm with trick00, bareshaft one and tune to your 125 gr field points first. That is the quickest, cheapest, and easiest solution to figuring out your problem. It sounds like the 3555 are a little weak but should tune out of your bows.
