Much oblidged, TD'ers.
I'm shooting a longbow cut about 1/16th from center, 48#@26". Until now I've been shooting cedars fairly well (50-60 spined, 28" BOP, 125 gr point) but would really like to give carbons a try. Been reading every thread I could on the subject, and I think I'm more confused than ever!
I've settled on either CE Heritage or just biting the bullet and getting some AD Trad Lites. My questions are thus:
1. If I'm shooting a fairly high performance longbow with a FF string (Blacktail Columbian), would I be OK with CE 150's? I was thinking CE 150's would allow me to stay with a 125gr BH, and possibly get to lose a little length on the arrows.
2. I'd love some input from other carbon shooters with short draw lengths (26-27") on what setups work well for you to get me in the ballpark.
3. Are the AD arrows REALLY that easy to tune? I keep hearing that there are folks shooting them out of multiple bows of varying poundages and they just seem to fly right.
I appreciate your time and look forward to your responses.

Shameless ttt...
If you have settled on a CX Heritage, the 90's would be a better choice. The AD's are no easier to tune in than any other shaft. Most carbon arrows can be shot from various bows, they have have a wide spine range.
I agree with the 90s. Mine still likes a bunch of weight up front though. I normally need a weaker spine than most. I have an 86 grain insert and 250 grain point on the end of my 90s out of 50@27 longbows. These are 1/8-3/16" from center.
