Shot my recurve about 60 times today.
It's an old 60# Blackwidow HS58 with B 50 string.
My previous BW's were fastlfite strung SA2 models, of 55 and 57#.
Those shot GT55/75 shafts 30.5" long with 50 gr added to insert (tips were 125gr).
Shot great.
Thinking this rig of slightly more #, might try the same shaft. Needed 50 gr more last yr to get it to shoot good.
That got me thinking............those 100gr brass inserts. Might I be able to go with 35/55 shafts?
Picked some up, cut 'em an inch shorter.............and they bareshafted left of aim, went in nock right.
Screwed 50 gr weight to insert and was drilling the bull at 20 yards, bare shafts nice n straight...................bare shaft.
Oh yeah, I know what my 3D arrow will be this yr! Still a B50 pooch, but not as doggy as it was with the others.
Too bad this pig aint a last run HS58 and capable of fastflite
60 arrows (or more), hold for 3-5 seconds per shot............was kinda wimpy laying off since deer season. Feel pretty good, but that might be due to the 6th Glass beer
