Arrows for my long bow?

I am going to start shooting my custom White wolf longbow in some traditional shoots. It is 68 inches and 33 lbs @ 28 in. My draw is 29 1/ 2 so I am pulling 35 lbs. I would like to shoot woodies but am open to suggestion. Lets hear what yuo think.

Let us know the type of bow. For an older style longbow, 35-40 spined shafts may work fine. Newer bows made of high grade materials may require a slightly stiffer spine. Hope this helps.

Stu Millers Calculator says GT 15/35s, 31,5", 100gn point, 50 gn insert, 3x4inch feathers, no footing and a regular GT nock, and it shows appx 38,1# on both stats. That is, if ya opt to go carbon instead of woodies
If woodie, 35-40# will do fine
(Most likely)
(This only applies if your bow is cut to center and you use a thin hide-rest for arrows)

Check with Fletcher at the feathered shaft or look him up in the directory.

No matter what any one tells you, you will have to shoot a few different arrows with varying tip weights until you find what works well for you with that bow.
