Russ,
I'm shooting a 53lb recurve, 27" draw. My arrows are 28 1/2" beman ventures 400. I shoot 100 gr brass inserts with 250 gr points. The bare shafts shoot right with the fletched arrows. This setup works well for me.

Oh very nice bow by the way TP sure makes a sharp bow. Is that cocoabolla/actionwood in the riser?

Maconducks,
I shoot a similar flatbow with similar weight and draw length. I shoot Carbon Express rebels that have taken a beating on stumps and couple of small trees. They are not expensive compared to other carbons and shoot very nicely. I added a length of 7/32, Ace Hardwardware, clothes line to the inside to add 100 grains. I also bought glue-in nock inserts so the rope wouldn't pop out the nock when it hit harder objects. I shoot a 125 grain head with screw in insert added. Hope this helps.
