First, you will have to find someone with wood shafting long enough to accommodate your long draw.
 Another option would be cane shafts.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

I shoot 32 inch woodies. You can start by buying heavy spine POC shafts and a spine tester. Then you can foot the arrows to length. There is also a book called "The Dowel Arrow" that is very helpful if you want to go with dowels from the hard ware store.
