try paper tuning. I did bare shaft for all my bows. But when I got my ILF set up I paper tuned it until My holes looked pretty clean. Im shooting this set up better then all others and my arrows are flying awsome.   just my results and I know alot of people dont like paper tuning.

I don't know how close they are to 75/95's but I shoot Big Game 100's and when I had my Shafer a while back I had them bare shafting out to 30yrds. That was 30.5" shaft, 100gr insert, and 175 heads. 200 with broad heads. Bow weight was similar to yours and I draw 30".

Build out the side plate some and see if it makes it better or worse before you cut those arrows. I always try to tune the bow to the arrows first. The easiest way is by adjusting the center cut by building it out with a piece of Velcro or thicker material.

You are way weak. I can shoot them cut to 31" with 100gr insert, 125gr heads out of a 60lb recurve that is cut to center with velcro for a strike plate.  Your set up is way too powerful fo that much head weight.  You will likely need to cut them down.

I shoot a 70# recurve with a 31" draw and the regular 7595 GT shoot fine, with 125 gr. tips.  I tried some of the wood grain GT's and they didn't shoot good for me.  I finally sold them and sticking with the regular black GT shafts.

Thanks every one. I just cut them down to 30.5 inches roughly and there flying a lot better. I ended up going with a total of 275 up front with a 100 brass insert and 175 grain point. I'm still playing around with them a little bit, but I would hunt with the way they are flying now.

Once again thanks to every one, Schafer

You better shoot a couple broadheads before you settle in on that set up. I have a feeling that you may have cut them too short. If changing pt weight makes a "BIG" differenc, than you have something else going on there.

7595 wood grains will shoot out of a very heavy bow.
Forget about the paper tuning and cut the feathers off of one arrow. You can continue to shoot this arrow while you practice and it will help you to realize how consistant your form is.

I am shooting the 7595's with 400 up front out of an 80lb @ 31" bow and drawing that bow to 30.5"s. the arrows fly flawlessly either bare shaft, featherd shaft or featherd broadhead shaft. My bows however are only cut to center and I suspect that the shchaefer is cut past center.
good luck, bigjim
