Now the season is over I'm playing around with my set-up.
58# recurve and I'm shooting 5575 GT with 125 grain head and 5" feathers. Some had said the 5575 GT are too stiff and to use a larger head. I made some up with 100 grain inserts that put the tip weight at 225. I decided to put a few through paper to see what they were doing.
The 225 grain point put a 3" left tear which would indicate weak spin. I then tried the 125 grain point with a normal insert and got a 3/4" left tear. Seeing these results I put a 100 grain point on and got a near perfect bullet hole.
To draw on the gurus of the trade bow does this sound feasible?
