I'm shooting full length, which on my GT trad 35/55's is 30.5 inches from the end of the shaft to the valley of the nock out of a hummingbird recurve that is 60" long and is 50# @ 28 inches. My draw length is 29.5 inches. I also have a 50 grain brass insert in the business end of the shaft with 145 grain tips.
By EVERYTHING that I can find, including Stu Miller's newest version of the spine chart, I should be WEAK. That being said, they shoot just fine.......as a matter of fact, better than fine. Oh, and by the way, the hummingbird recurve is cut to center.
Go figure ??? I know that a person's release has an effect on the way an arrow comes off of the bow, but I am at a loss to explain this.
So............I'm gonna just keep shooting them, and not worry about the charts, and what should work, and shouldn't. If it aint broke, I'm not even gonna try to comprehend trying to fix it.
Here, I was all ready to purchase me some of the GT 55/75's down at ATAR, and I didn't even need to spend the money......I'm sure glad that I brought those 35/55's with me. I had just acquired the bow, and hadn't even shot it until after I arrived at ATAR.
Anyone have any ideas......or explanations to this situation ???
