Default this "spine" predicament is getting me frazzled..

Or maybe it's Carbon Express that's doing it. I've posted before that I'm shooting the Heritage 250's from a 45# recurve (Bear cheyanne/57"/45#@28") and mosteveryone saysthey are overspined, that is except the guy at CE's technical help desk, he recommended the 250's and here at the shop (possibly because he cut them at 30" ?).

I'm looking at the arrow selection chart in their 07 catalog andon the chart of hunting shafts (Heritage)they do not give a differantrecommendation for compounds vs. recurves whereas looking at their target shaftschart it doesand that has me wondering why.

I'm going to have to remeasure my arrow lengthbecause I'm thinkingtheymeasured 30 in. and if so then they are calling for the 250's but if I'm shooting 29"s then theycall for the 150"s.

Another thing I see under select the correct arrowis a matrix that calculates the "adjusted bow draw weight" and that doeshave a recurve option.Would it be appropriate to use this adjusted weight with their chart?

While I'm at it I might as well ask another question.I was following the arrow weight post and am curious, if my shaft are 29" with all componants they come in at 475gr. (approx. 10.29 per/in) and 30"will add11gr. to the total,will they dothe trick for whitetail?

Sorry for all the questions but I know I have to get it figured out. No sense in flinging arrows that won't fly right because of incorrect spine, I can make them do that all by my-self[].
