What type of arrow are wood, aluminum, or carbon?
If it's wood, with your long draw you will need to find some footed shafts.

I wanted wood but can't afford footed shafts,So I guess I have to go to carbon I have some radial x weaves in 300 will they work?

What is the center cut for your bow? I would think that to get the 300 X weaves to work you will have a small point weight and a light overall arrow for your draw weight. I shoot mfx 340's out of my 67@31 horne and i have 285 up front.  A set of carbons will be about the same price as footed shafts.  I think that Bob from whispering wind arrows can make you some nice hexpine shafts that are footed to your length. He has spine up above 100 too which you might need.  Hope this helps some. Let me know if you have any other questons.

Don't give up on the woods yet.  I can give you 31.25" BOP without shortening the point taper.  If you mount the heads horizontally and don't overdraw, it will work.  I'd try 85-89 to start.
