curiosity got me,i ordered a omp adrondack dlx 50# @ 28" to get me started. they recomend 6 1/4-6 3/4 brace height. i already have 125gr. zwickey heads that i had bought for my nomad stalker,so i will use these.
can someone point me in the direction of a good carbon arrow for this bow?i already have easton st excell 400's @31" that i have been using in my recurve as well. will these do ok or do i need to look at something else? (im a big fan golden tip's)

Why don't you try them then if they don't work, figure out why and try something more approprite.

Do you need the 31" length? If not, you could try some Beman ICS Bowhunter 500 shafts. They shoot great out of my 52# Kanati and my 50# Badger recurve. Mine are cut to 29.5" and I'm shooting Zwickey Deltas.

--------------------
Kanati 58" RD Longbow 46# @ 28"
RER XR TD recurve - 58" 47# @ 28"
Dryad Orion TD - Longbow 58" 53# @ 28" Recurve - 56" 50# @ 28"
Self-made Silk backed Hickory Longbow 67" 49# @ 28"
Bear Black Bear 60" recurve 45# @28"
