I have used the cabelas 400 hunter and refletched them with 5" shield feathers and they do pretty good. But I have never used the stalkers.

The Cabelas Stalker extreme 55/70 is the same shaft as the Beman ICS Bowhunter .400 spine.

I've been shooting these for 3 years now.  Durable and cheap.

I'd like to try them out but the only person I know that shoots them shoots a compound so I'd like to get some input from some traditional shooters. Thanks guys.

Right now I'm shooting 45# would they be ok with the lower draw weight?

These are a bit stiff for your setup.  I recently picked some up and a bareshaft 28 3/4" with 200 grain field point was always tail/ nock right in my target.  I fletched them with 3 5" shields and they seem to fly ok.  This was out of a 50# recurve.  I wish they made a 500 or 40/55 shaft.  Check out cabela's website and read the customer reviews and comments.  Most were extremely happy with them a few traditionalist too.

I have some 55# limbs so I am debating whether I should hold off on the arrows until I shoot those instead of the 45#limbs

Ya, I am going to have to try them from what I have heard. I also need to find some carbons for my 45# set up.
