I'm old and old folks fear change. I have been using Carbonwood shafts for several years with good success . they have quite making them. I have about 2 dozen made up for each weight I hunt with but I tend to shoot at most everything that catch's my eye so I go thru a lot of arrows in a season. I have tried Grizzely sticks but was not happy with them. So whats the best shaft out there for a 70# bow and a 57# bow

well buff i shoot goldtips , but i saw your post and noticed how much respect you give goldtips so i guess you don't care for them. i am in the same boat. after i heard goldtip where hard to find and they lost their plant i don't know what carbon shaft to get next. so i will be watching this post.
if you go with the gold tips i am shooting a 58 lb recurve with goltip 3555's with 150 grain bh. i am going to try to swap to a 5575 with a 100 grain insert and 125 grain tips but i don't know how that is going to work out.

I am shooting the Heritage shafts. I picked them because they had one of the higher grain weight per inch. Plus they take the added brass. I got them from Keystone Country Store.
Buff, I can't believe arrow manufacturers are standing in line to give you arrows. You would be a good rep for there product. Then you could get us some with your employee/celebrity discount.

The Black Max Elite are heavy and the straightest skinny carbon beman offers. I hear the Easton full Metal Jacket are really the latest in the skinny carbon technology. I have shot the Black Max 400 out of my 54# Bruin and could hang with the componders in accuracy. I have shot the Max 4 340 with 250 gr heads but were too heavy for my bow. out of my 54# widow I shoot the easton axis 340 with 250 gr heads and they fly great. But the skinny carbons are here to stay I think very durable and fly great.

I personally think you should have to use a jack knife to wittle down a willow stick to make arrows Buff. That way the animals that you hunt would have a fighting chance...
Seriously if you ever get offered sponsorship to shoot a certain arrow think hard on it. I was sponsored by a ski manufacturer and it really restricts you in many ways when new products come on the market. For the price of a few arrows it doesn't seem worth it to limit oneself. Heck...if I owned Black Wodow I would be geting you on my prostaff team in a heart beat. Now that would be a great sponsor....

I think the Heritage shafts are the best, and I've just about shot them all. Chunky is shooting the Heritage 350's and they weigh 12 gr/in. If I am not mistaken they 250's weigh 11.05 gr/in. I am shooting a Blacktail 58# @ 30" draw and the 350's were not quite stiff enough, so I had to go to the Gold tip 75/95. The GT's are not near durable enough. My longbow is 57# and the Heritage 250's work. If you want to try some of each, let me know and I'll send them to ya!

Yep, I am shooting the 350s, although mostly I am shooting video. Got almost an hour video of a nice mid 120s,4 yr old, 8 pt, that never presented the absolute perfect shot to Killer Kelby on Sunday morning. I am glad she listened to her ol dad and is responsible in her shot selection, but dang that was hard to watch from 100 yards away.
