CE 150's should work just fine. I have a 49#@28 TC and it shoots 150's and 250's just fine. I think they are cut at 30" ... I shoot about a 170 grn Simmons Bhead and 145 grn field points.

You will like this bow ... congrats

Great looking bow!!!!!! Looking at the pictures of it strung up I was just wondering what you have the brace height set up at.  Thanks John

Sweet TC !!!

Jim's Thunderchild has a great profile!!

You're kind of a tweener and it depends on how heavy or light you want to shoot? A full length 55/75 with a good load up front or 35/55's cut shorter with less up front. I think you could get both to fly well out of your TC... You could tune an arrow to be 8 1/2 gpp to 13+ gpp by adjusting tip weight and length. Shooting style also changes the equation. I shoot with almost all my bows a weaker than recommended spine? Go figure but that is what works "for me" .... Get some and let some bare shafts fly ...  my 2cents

Congrats and good luck  :)
