For my 62# Sentman longbow, I'm shooting tapered lodgepole pine (heaver and IMHO tougher than cedar) with orange crown and 5" high-profile shield-cut Gateway feathers. Orange hen, orange camo cock feather. Bohning classic nocks. Finished arrows are just over 580 grains. 125 grain Snuffer broadheads for hunting.

For my 51# ChekMate recurve, the combination is parallel POCs with 5.5" shield cut TruFlite feathers: white hen, red barred cock. Shafts are an "osage-ish" hue with a rich burgundy crown. Black and silver cresting. 125 grain Ribteks for hunting. I also use 2016s out of this bow for target stuff.

BTW: After shooting the lodgepole pine, I may never go back to POC. This is tough stuff. Straight, too.
