the 350's are probaly going to be way to heavy fot your bow. I shoot a 47# BW PMA and the CX 150 should work the best.

Check your post, if the bow is 42#s at 32"s than at 29"s it will be about 33#s or so. if you meant at 28"s and it is 45#s at your draw than a 30" 500 series with 225 grains of point weight should get ya very close on spine! Shawn

You are right at the overlap of 500 and 400. %00 with a heavy point, 400 with a lighter point. Might even get by with 500 and a lighter point.
Would be nice if you could try a few of each before you commit big $.
I have a 30" draw and can use 500 with 100gr point or 400 with 125 gr point at 42 -48 #.

You must be very excited about your new bow, Bucksdown. Look at the numbers in your second post.
