Bullfrog,

Yes, I think the 150s will be best for you with that setup.

Bullfrog, I shoot a r/d longbow(CUT TO CENTER) 57#@32" and I shoot a full length CX 250 with 225 grs. up front. I hope this helps. I think Gordy's gonna be close by my estimate.  Dave

Biggie, thanks. I may take you up on it if these don't work. Have you found them pretty durable?  BILL

I think they are, but I don't use a carbon shaft again once I shoot a critter with it. It goes in the dead critter bucket. I've seen too many pictures of fractured carbon shafts and for me, I don't want that in the back of my mind when I'm shooting.
I figure one arrow for one critter is a good average  :-)

Alright guys,  I'm thinking of trying the cx shafts (currently woodies).  68" Liberty English longbow 47# @ 30".  What shaft & tip weight would you recommend?  Is there anywhere you can purchase just one or two shafts to test.  I know it will be between the 150 & 250,  Thanks!

3-Rivers has test kits (2 of each - 150, 250 & 350).  Thing is, you should be using at least 3 arrows to get a typical performance.

Thanks Jeff!  That's much better than the 3 Rivers $54 "test" kit.
