62"Cari-bow Featherhorn Longbow 55#@28"
58" Striker SlapStik 57#@28"

Nice collection of bows.  It is sometimes difficult to get one arrow shaft to fly well out of different bows.  That being said, I would try some Goldtip 35/55 shafts.  They spine at .480 which is just slightly stiffer than many of the .500 shafts available.  Get some different weighted brass inserts and some different weight heads 125-250gr.  Then start full length and see what kind of arrow flight you are getting.  With some time and effort You will find some good combinations that shoot well.  Good luck.

Thanks ISP I will give that a try I have a 6 35/55 goldtips comeing with the Cari-bow and I have 6 carbon express heritage 150's now.I think I cut them to short to begin with so I might have to order another half dozen to test with.Also I can not wait to get the Supershrew or the slapstik I have heard they are great shooters.

I love my Shrew.  It is 55@29.  I draw 28.5 and I am shooting Goldtip 35/55s out of it with 150 grain heads.
