Try a BUNCH of tip weight. That was the only way I could get OK results. I shoot 60#(+)@30" they will be for sale on the classifieds soon.

I have some 600's that I shoot out of a 47@28lb. Bob Lee Signature.  My arrows are cut to 28".  I use 125gr. field tips.  These arrows fly absolutely straight for me.  Acutally, I only pull 27" so the poundage I am shooting is probably about 44lbs.  I tried Bear heads on them the other day and also 125gr. Razorcaps.  These combinations flew absolutely perfect!

Most of the Woodies were miss-labeled.   This is why they were discountinued.  When they first came out I got some that were labeled correctly.  They are a flat shooting heavy arrow.  

If you can, check the spine on a spine tester.  Use 28" centers.  This will give you the correct spine.

I got some woodies that were miss labeled. I spined them and it was scary. They were so bad that alaska bowhunting took the loss instead of selling them. I got them from a dealer that alaska bowhunting supply basically gave them to. If alaska bowhunting supply does anoher lot I will try some as the weight would be great with my draw weights.

I have some I got from Badger Arrow and they are great. I wish I had more. They are 500's and I shoot them out of my 53# Blacktail.

I have some 500's I got off the classifieds here ttat I shoot out of my bow at about 53#.  They were cut to 28.25".  I go them to tune using a field tip kit from 3 rivers.  They ended up with 175 grain heads.  I have shot several nocks off shooting a combo of woodsmans and field tips out to about 20 yards.  When i got my 65# limbs I ordered some of te 600's from the company who was selling them.  They tuned out with the same 175 grain heads at 28".
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I have a few dozens left, 600,500,400 both Banshee and Woodies. Yes, mismarked parallel shafts. Heard good and bad stories but like any arrow tuning, it is a science project with all the variables. If you are a good scientist you can make any arrow fly good. LOL. PM me if you are interested they are a good deal the best price I know of. Plus heavy carbon arrows will be more and more popular as time goes on.
