You're right Katman. I said that backwards.

That's what I thought Blaino.

Thinking about his set-up bet he gets some feather contact with the shorter/stiffer arrow.
shoot straight shoot often

For me too short is 1" more than my actual draw length. I draw 50@30 on most of my bows and can tune a 31" Gold Tip 3555 or 5575, 9.5 grains per pound depending on point and insert weight, to bare shaft perfectly.

I'm thinking I'm gonna just leave well enough alone and just stick with 29". They shoot pretty good with the 50 grain inserts and 175s but they shoot perfect with the standard inserts and 175s. It seems trimming only makes things worse. I may go back to the CE Heritages for a little more weight. Thanks for the input. Jeff
