275 up front on 31" arrow dynamics shafts.  This gives me right at 21% FOC, a whisper quiet bow, the tightest groups I have ever shot and a flatter trajectory.

A whole lot of this has to do with the bow and how the shelf is cut. Take any 2 bows you want; both being the same draw weight at a particular DL. One bow is cut 1/4" before center and the other is cut 1/4" past center. These two bows will require 2 drastically different arrows to tune properly.

JimB,

Sure would be interested to know the particulars of the shaft (spine), bow type and draw weight, and as Bisch mentioned shelf cut that you're shootin' that big 450 gr. head with?

I shoot GT 35/55 29.5 long with 275 up front out of my Shelton. around 50 at my 27.5 draw. Not super fast but hits where I`m looking.All you can hear is feathers flying. Zero bow noise at the shot.RC
