Gold Tip 1535

[fz4vgq]

1535's (.600's in general) are great for us short draw length guys. I draw 25" & shoot 1535's cut to 28.5", 50gr brass insert & a 145gr point for a total arrow weight of 430gr's. My draw weight at 25" is 46 pounds so it works out to 9.4 GPP.

Yuo gotta watch too because the traditionals are way stiffer than the black unwrapped one's.

i believe Kustom King and also Lost Nation Archery sells half dozen.

I tried the 1535's and for me in my Das bow and my Bear TD they tuned out better than 3555's with 150gr broadheads. That is with bows 45-49lb.  With 50lb to 55lb the 3555's tuned better.

I have a 47# longbow and bought 3555's and they were to stiff in spine bareshafted tuned. I'll try the 1535's, shooting 1916 and they tune perfect.

I am shooting a 45# Hoots recurve and these GT trad 1535's are perfect for this set-up. If I get the Expedition's I would have to add some weight to match up with the trads ,then I'm afraid spine would be compromised, maybe not. Its a case of if its not broke don't fix it, I guess. I just want a black arrow.

bluej..you'll be able to get the 1535s to fly unless your bow is cut past center or u are shooting a full length arrow....but your overall arrow weight will be less than the 1916..

I bought a half dozen GTs from Mike at The Nocking Point plus he only charges you for actual shipping cost. He's also a sponser.

strange...but I shoot 1535 cut 29" and I draw them 28.5"...they shoot perfect out of my 50# Bear T/D, my 50# Wallace Royal, and my 52# Widow...I always had problems tuning with 3555s and these work much better for me.  Maybe it's my 4-3" feathers...?

I'm pretty sure the key to all this is to have a reliable tuning method and tune till they are right. It seems to me that components of a persons form also play into how a particular arrow will tune foa a particular person.

Quote.....  "The numbers 1535, 3555, 5575.......arent at all meant for trad shooters...... its meant for wheelie shooters with risers cut way past center who can shoot a wide spine range.... that is why it is so important for tradshooters to load up the front to soften the spine..which actually helps us with penetration and adding weight to the carbons.. all i know is ive shot 600 spine exclusively in 3 different brands... i shoot them in 45#ish bows cut at just over 28" with 175 to 185 up front... some bows are cut to center, some just shy of center... i'm able to get acceptable bareshafts, im also able to group bareshats well with fletched....and most importantly my broadheads fly great..

Front load, how much centercut a bow is, do you shorten the shafts or not, drawweight/lenght, shootingstyle....  there are many variables that make an arra fly straight.
From my 45 lbs@29" hybrid longbow I shoot GT traditionals, 30.5 BOP, 100 grains fieldtip, factory insert and nock. They bareshaft to perfection at 20 yards. GPP is 8.6, speed is burning feathers       .

BTW; here is the conversion table:

15-35 or 0.600” becomes: 26/0,6 x 1,2115 = 52,5 lbs
35-55 or 0.500” becomes: 26/0,5 x 1,2115 = 63 lbs
55-75 or 0.400” becomes: 26/0,4 x 1,2115 = 78 lbs
75-95 or 0.300” becomes: 26/0,3 x 1,2115 = 105 lbs

So a 1535 actually has a static spine value of 53. You can adjust the dynamic spine with... oh well you all know the drill....

I have some that I could part with. How long do you need them? mine are 28" BOP

Not really. I shoot them out of 45-50# bows and they shoot just great.

i shoot 28" GT 1535's out of all of my bows with the exception of my better halves Tamerlane. I am now shooting them out of a Mariah Thermal 54# @ 26 1/2" recurve, I can shoot 100gr. field points to 175gr. with a 50 gr. brass insert, they really move, and I find them to be very accurate, and they seem to fly very well.
