I'm going to buy a dozen of GT Ultralights for my Hoyt recurve. Shooting 3 under, about 53# on the fingers at 26" draw (front of the riser).

Gold Tip interactive calculator tells me to go for 400, the chart says 400 as well, just on the right border of 500.
However, I have some CX 400 spine Heritage arrows with 5"...
