You will probably need the 1535. Those 3555 I think will be too stiff. Big Jim a sponsor here caries the Goldtip blems and they are just as good as new except they may have minor blemishes. I think they are $45 per dozen. I have probably purchased 6 dozen from him and they are great arrows.

3555 work good out of most of my 35# recurves. I think you will be happy with your purchase.

Did you get the arrows cut down? If not, I would leave them long and see how they fly. If they're still too stiff, you can put some more mass up front with brass weights.

Unless your bow is cut past center, I suspect the 3555s will be to stiff too. The 1535 will more than likely be a better arrow for your 35x# bow. I recently got some of the 1535 GT blems from Big Jim. Check 'em out! Great value in a carbon arrow.

Bump your point weight up if they are too stuff. If not, shoot them as is. Either way, it's an easy fix and will work.

Jturkish, if you haven't cut or fletched them yet, you might want to send them back and trade them in on some 1535's. Pt weight won't make enough of a difference to fix that.
Give us a call if you would like some advice.
thanks, bigjim
