What's a Surewood shaft and where do you get them?  I too would like to try wood arrows at some point ( no pun intended)    ;)

not an expert at anything, let alone woodies - however, i would recommend starting off with a surewood doug fir spine test kit as oppposed to playing with charts and software.  actual shooting always trumps any kinda guestimating, and the woodie test kit can be used over and over for all yer bows, present and future.  :D

I didn't see anyone mentioned yet but you might want to make sure whatever shafts you buy are weight-matched as well as spine-matched.  Within a dozen spine-matched wood shafts you may see 100 grn weight variance!  If I can, I like to spring for 100 shafts when they go on sale and then weight-match sets so you can get used to them and shoot them consistently....
Have fun!

I second what Gerardo said.  Since your Grizz is pretty much center shot, you will do better by going with a heavier spine on broadheads. 60 to 65 should be about right with 125grns up front. If you go for a heavier head like a 150gr, bump it up to 65-70.

Also second the Surewood Shafts. They come incredibly straight for woodies, and are very tough. For someone who is switching over to woodies, this will be the path of least resistance and best results. Not much (if any) staightening is needed for these shafts. I've been making woodies for 28 years now - since I was 15. Wow, I'm getting ooollllddd.

I will say this also, my and Bills opinions are not guesses. I have experience with your bow and poundage and Bill has years and years of experience. Hate to see you spend money you don't have too. The advise on the weight and spine matched shafts is very good, as are the surewoods. Shawn
