Vapor Carbonwoods 3000 or Gold Tip 55/75 with 250 grains up front will give you 500 grains give or take on a 30 inch arrow.

Hey Ian, cool name.  Named my oldest boy Ian.  Now here's what I shoot most of the time:
Carbon Express Rebel 4560
They are real durable and very inexpensive. Also they are rather plain which I like, not camo, just grey carbon.  I think they are around 9 grains/inch so it's easier to get the weight up a little.  I also use 100 grain brass inserts up front.  

Depending on the overall length, and I'm assuming you'd want at least 30", and how heavy your point you may need a stiffer spine.  I can't remember right now, but if you do a search you can find a carbon express chart on the web.  I think bass pro or cabela's used to have it on their sight.  

The real problem I've had is finding these in-stock.  If you decide you'd like to try the Rebel's you can PM me and I'll see if I can track down some places.
Do or do not ... there is no "try"

Bowhunters Superstore has about any carbon arrow you could want.Best prices I've found.
Just looked,Rebels are 46.99 doz.
CHX 58in 44@28 CHX 58in 52@28

Carbon Express Heritage 150. This arrow, cut to 30" with 250g up front will give you over 600g total arrow weight, which is a really good weight IMO!  ;)  Good luck!  :D

You can use any good 2 balde and a 125 grain steel BH insert. I use Magnus and sasquatch heads.
