As stated- more info is needed. Draw length and a measure of how close to centershot is the bow. I would not be surprised if 1535's worked and would think 5575's too stiff unless you load them with over 250 grains up front. Also important to consider is how long the shaft is- are we talking uncut shafts? This is a good question for "tradgang" but they will want to know more info as well.

I shoot RER'S : XR-60"47lbs.take down recurve and a LX-62"51 lbs.take down longbow.  I use full length Gold tips 55-75's  with 100g. brass inserts and 145g.  field tips or broadheads---5" fletch and they fly perfectly for me, like darts!! Give'm a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Good Luck!!

I shoot 3555's with 200 grains up front out of almost every bow I own and they range between 40-60 lbs. Ive killed deer with them too and got a full pass-through on a young buck a few years ago out of a 50lb recurve. I leave mine full length since the 3555's are only 30" to start with and thats about how long I like my arras anyway..

I shoot both with your same draw and just a few pounds under...you're probably going to need some weight up front cutting them that short. my 35/55, at 30" I run 50 grain brass inserts and 200 grain tips, 3" fletching.  55/75, 100 grain brass and 200 tips.  An excellent hunting weight arrow (that for me) I can still use at league.
