I've found 1535 with 200-225 works well with my 45@28(I draw 27 ) recurve and my 54@28 long bow. For my 52-55@28 recurves 3555 29 inch with 225 works better. I foot all my arrows with 2117 1 inch(12grains) for the 1535s and 2 inch(24grains) for the 3555s seems to work for me(adds some stiffness to the shaft) I also play with different inserts to get the weight I want, 11 grains that come with the shafts, 50 grains brass and 100 grain brass, the new longer inserts for gold tips (long 50 grn) should act as an internal footing to stiffen the shaft(but not on hard hits) I would still suggest footing on out side to make your arrows tuffer on impact.(2117 for 1535,3555, 5575 needs 2216 for trad shafts )
