I also shoot carbons with both my longbow and recurve. Both bows are made by Bob Sarrels of Sarrels Archery and are 50# @28". I am currently shooting Easton Axis shafts. They are smaller in diameter, but have a thicker wall so you still get the weight. I also shoot Wenzel Woodsman broadheads. As far as the Grizzly Sticks, I ordered a dozen last year because they were supposed to be very durable shafts. I had been shooting Traditional Lites, but was having trouble finding them so I opted for the Grizzly sticks. I was not pleased with them at all. I broke half of them within the first month of shooting them at 3d targets. I could miss a target with the Trad Lites and usually recover my arrow, but if I missed with the Grizzly Sticks the arrow was going to be broken unless I hit a soft spot in the dirt. I won't buy them again. My $.02 worth.
