Always hunting for the perfect setup. I'm looking at a setup with 23foc at 9 grains per inch per pound (the bare shaft was very impressive) but is this to light for white tails & 3 bladed vpas. 1535 28 1/4 2inch footing (2117 24grns 1/4 on nock end) 175 pt 50grn insert 3 41/2 feather(around 490 grns) 55@27 12 strand D-10 silvertip bow recurve

Seriously? For whitetails you could be shooting 9 gpp, 10% foc, and 10 pounds lighter and have no trouble using the vpa heads.

9 grains per pound of draw weight should be fine. Inches has nothing to do with the equation. IMHO 1535s seem like a light spine for a 55# @ 27" Silvertip with a ff string and 225 up front unless you're drawing under 27". But if you're getting good flight go with it.

9 gpp.seems to be a recommended standard. For most bows it is a nice middle ground balancing speed and momentum.

9 grains per pound of bow weight has nothing to do with "per inch" but rather simply means that for a 50# bow you would be shooting a 450 grain arrow total weight. That formula worked great for Fred Bear and was what he recommended. I usually go for around 10 grains per pound of bow weight but 9 works well.

More important than arrow weight, more important than FOC%, and more important than draw weight, or the bow it's shot from is a perfectly flying arrow with a razorsharp head. Nothing will compensate for short comings in those 2 areas.

I use this combo out of bows less than 50 pounds(like the one in photo bare shaft robinhooded a fletched 51@27 Dale Dye) ,but on a lark tried the bare shafts 1535 with my heaver 3555 at 291/4(10-11 grns per pound) all the rest the same (they bare shaft great to) and was VERY impressed how straight and flat the shot(1535 bare shafts) I then ran it through stus and seemed to work out :)
