GT35/55 for my lighter rigs, 55/75 for the heavier.
Have weights and inserts to dial 'em in.

While some folks go with extra long shafts and make them work..........I think that rather silly looking.
However, I'm sure some experiment with that stuff to get an arrow that works as a sight.
Overly long carbons was a thing some yrs back...........to the point of absurdity.



I don't give two hoots how long my arrows are or how they look. I'm concerned about how they shoot. Mostly I don't like adding a lot of point weight and having rainbow trajectories,so I approach from a different direction. I draw right at 30" so they aren't going to be absurdly long no matter what.

I may however be a bit anal about arrow tune but my bareshafts will group with fletched arrows at 40 yards.
