The 150 will be perfect for your setup. Also note: in my experience Bob Lee bows tolerate a wide range of arrow shafting due to their design. The other shaft you might consider (although pricey) is the GrizzlyStik Sitka from Alaska Bowhunting Supply. Heavier for hunting and tapered, very strong.

I shoot a 45 pound recurve and draw around 27 1/2 inches. A GT 1535 Trad (.600) spine, 29 inches long with 175 grain point bareshaft tunes perfect for me. I use the GT 3555 (.500) spine shafts in my 50+ pound bows.

Shooting Gold Tip 3533 cut to 29 1/4" w/ 50gr brass insert and 175gr broad head. Out of a 45@28 Leon Stewart one piece recurve. My draw is 28".
Do you have any full length shafts to try w/ 150 points? Or how about a 50 or 100 grain brass insert?

I know you are looking for carbon stats but if you consider wood, I shoot a 31 inch 50-55 or 55-60 wood shaft with 125-130 up front.
Relax,

Put some 65 grain brass inserts in those 150's and you'll get them flexing enough at 30" length.  kirk

Cody, PM sent.

The reason I added a wood set up was to help anyone who may do a  search and find this thread in the future.
Relax,

That is the combo I came up with on Stu's calculator, I have a 45lb Predator that I need something for next year. You could forget about the inserts and just use heavy tips (160's) and get them to work, the weight comes in around 10 grains per lb. Most carbon come too light or too heavy for that weight, IMHO.
