Bob Lee and Gold Tips

Have a Bob Lee on the way. Natural, 64" takedown recurve, drawing 55-56 pounds at 30".
Would GT 55-75's work here? Or possibly step up to the 75-95's? Sort of on the edge when I look at the charts. Would like to shoot 150-175 up front.
Would love your opinion.
Thanks!

I have a 30" draw, shoot 55ish pounds and 31.5" 55/75 and I shoot 240gr up front and still have room for a little weight to add. You will be over 10gpi with 55/75's. If you want EFOC (300gr plus up front) shoot 75/95's.

I would go with 55-75. I shoot 50 lbs at 29 inch draw and I shoot 35-55 with 200 grain points and a 29 3/4 inch shaft. I would think a 31 inch shaft and around 150-250 grains put you in the ball park. But gold tips are a little finky with length so I would bare shaft test before u cut the shafts. Trust me dont ask me how I know. U can always play with your side plate thickness its easier than cutting your shafts over and over too.

i went with the 75/95's on my RER Retro. 31.5" GT carbons, 250 grains up front. 3 five-inch feathers. 28-28.5" draw.
you are correct that it's right on the edge. i built out my side plate just a tiny tad to make up for the extra stiffness, and they fly great.

If you have to build up your sideplate, your arrows are too weak...... A thinner side plate is a cure for too stiff.

75/95's way too stiff, may even try 35/55's, but at ur 30" draw probably 55/75's. bare shaft testing only way to know for sure.
