Thanks for all the advice, I really want to make the transition to hunting with traditional equipment. I'm way too accurate with my compound and it's just not "fun" to shoot anymore besides going hunting with it. Like I said, over the last few years I've bought recurves from the classifieds, had tons of fun slinging arrows, sometimes, until my draw fingers ache for days after, but as soon as I strip the feathers off an arrow to get "serious" about this thing, it always reveals spine issues and what not, to where I get frustrated and sell everything, falling back to the familiar compound.
Anyway, I'm determined not to give up again, especially since I had Kanati make me a custom quiver for this bow.
I'll try 2016 and see what happens, I see many people using that shaft on line who have the same draw length and draw weight.
My draw is 28", maybe a tad over and the bow is 50lbs at 28" but probably closer to 48lbs since its older and may have lost a pound or two with age......thanks again.
