Center Cut
I will have to check on string. I believe its FF, but don't know for sure.
30"-31" for arrow length.
I have not scaled the bow. It is marked 45lbs @ 31".

if you're drawing 30"
maybe 50-55 with 125 grains..edging towards 55#
heavier spine with heavier points.
If you plan on shooting wood..just get a spine test kit and keep it around for the future.

Well, around 50-55 DYNAMIC spine sounds right.
But, if you draw 30", want 31" BOP, you'll need the full 32" of shaft. $ inchs longer than 28 meand add another @) lbs. spine due to the length ( 5 lbs. per inchbeyond 28"). So if I'm thinking right... more like 65-70 spine with a 125grn. point. Maybe 70-75.
Let's hear some more input?

A good test kit is the ticket!

While I do not shoot wood religiously. I'm with slowbowjoe on this one. I think you are somewhere in the 60-65 area with that arrow length, ff string, and 125 grain point. I'd get a test kit.

Definitely buy a shaft test kit as well as a point test kit. Build a paper tuner and you will be blown away at what you will learn!
Surewood Shafts is a good place to start.
