I need some info on carbons, i have always shot aluminum and i think im going to make the switch, i shoot a black widow 52@26, any ideas would greatly help
My Gold Tip Trad 35/55's would shoot out of your bow just a tad weak at their current state but you can shorten them to 29" & use 150gr. points & they'll be darned near perfect for you.
I would think you could get CX Heritage 150s to work playing with length and point wt.
I shoot 54# @ 26" and use Beeman MFX Classic carbons in 600's with 150gr tips. I use plastic tubing weight tubes too increase weight. They fly like darts and penetrate well. Good luck.
I too want to make the switch, just got a big jim buffalo 53@ my draw 29 thinking of c.x. heritage. any help would be great. thanks Burt
goldtip 3555s out of my striker lb 55@26 fly great.
Beman MFX Classics get my vote.

second that
The 150's would be my suggestion also. Start with a longer shaft and cut as necessary. Probably will find that a shaft between 30 and 31" and about 200g up front should be real close. that will give you aprox 530g and a sweet shooting bow at 10g per lb.
Good luck, Bigjim
I really like Beman MFX footed shafts. They are skinny, hefty for carbon, easy to tune, easy to foot, tough as nails and for me the best hunting shaft I have used since I started doing this sport in the 50's,
I can't say enough about the AD Trads. Love 'em.
What Bill said
CX Heritage cut 29" with 225 up front should be a good starting point.
Consider a Victory HV400
This estimated set-up should be close
28.5 " length
100 g insert
200 g pt
494 gn total wt
28.8 % EFOC
I would go with the Gold Tips.
