The only downside to this setup is the arrows go through so quickly I'm sometimes not sure if it was a hit until I go look at the bloody arrow! That Kanati puts a lot of zip on a pretty heavy arrow.

I did a little experimentation this afternoon with my 42# Blacktail recurve. I lowered the brace by 1/8" to 7 1/2" from 7 5/8". This allowed me to increase my point weight from 155 grains to 185 grains. It also increased my GPP from 11.85 grains per pound to 12.57 grains per pound.

[Rackman]

Black Widow PSA Ironwood 55#@28, 2018's 535 grains, shooting about 11 GPP

[Gunnar Mullins]

Im shooting around 11 gr/p
this is with my 50# recurves.

[Roconman]

10gpp out of a 50# recurve

[Over&Under]

I am right at 10 gpp with my setups.

[RC]

53@27 Hill Bow. 11.5 grains per pound.RC

[Night Wing]

More tweaking on my part with my 42# bow. Lowered the brace to 7 3/8" which lowered my point weight and changed my GPP.

[MarkE2006]

No less than 10 gpp and as much as 12.25 gpp.
