using Beeman ICS Hunters 340's, full length, with 50 grain insert and 175 grain head.  They act as if weak to me.

ChuckC, I did bare shaft them. The bow is cut just to center with a fairly thick velcro sideplate. Kinda surprised me too.

Going to a fast flight skinny string could be an option in lieu of scrapping the arose.  Assuming you couldn't get them tuned with point weight adjustments.

I love spell check!!

I am in same boat with a silver tip curve, 400 axis and seem to be weak. Got some 340s on order to try though for right now and rest of season I just backed down in point weight.

Have you tried a 400 out of yours?

Thanks for all your input. This is my 3rd attempt at buying a recurve and all the stuff to go with it, getting frustrated and selling it all off online. I feel like there's so many more variables and tweeks needed between string bows -vs- my compound bows. Everytime I sell my string bows I say I'm never buying another one and just sticking to my wheel bow......but the string bows are just so much more rewarding to shoot, I'm sure you ALL know what I'm talking about. I'll keep at it, I really like this Wallace bow and it's shoots accurately enough now for hunting, but I'm looking for that perfect match up between bow and arrow. Right now it's like trying to play music on a piano with all they keys working but they're not in tune......the song just sucks

I just calculated my arrow FOC at 18.8
Bumping up my point weight will also bump that up, I see many people on here shooting set ups with FOC's in the 20's so its probably a good thing.

I am with you in your frustration not having a perfect flight arrow but it is fun playing around a little.  For me I must acknowledge that my release/form is still not perfect so that will influence my shots.  I am shooting similar:  A WW partner, 56# @ 29, 16 strand ff string.  7595 trad gt, 30 " 275 grain with insert up front.  Pretty good flight for now with 5" feathers.

Stringpuller:  I'll just say again what I've come to experience after having perhaps a half dozen of his recurves over the years.  His bows shoot great, but they don't seem to be on the upper end of the performance scale.  He builds them for shootability and durability, but they always seem to take a bit weaker spine at similar weight than the bows of my buddies, who shoot Widows, Welch bows, etc.  I don't think his windows are cut really far past center compared to some, and so need somewhat lighter spined arrows.  The stock strings that come with them are a bit heavy, and as many have said an aftermarket string might be the ticket.  Get some 200, 250, and even 300 grain field points and play with them, and also play with brace height.  I usually end up around 8" on mine; my current 60" Mentor is at exactly 8" now.  Good luck.

I shoot 340 Aftermath full length (I think 32") with 250 up front from a 55@30 Tall Tines Recurve.
