Hi!
Some of this would depend upon what kind of limbs it has, what kind of string you are using and how close to center the riser is cut. You can start with the aluminums you have, and go up or down depending on how it acts.

You may have to dig up some of the phone poles you passed on your way home last month.  :wavey:

WHEW that bow will be around 76#s at your draw length. When I was shooting my 84# wheely i shot 2219 aluminums I think it's been a while and my 74# wheely I beleive I was shooting 2216's.Now that doesn't mean they would be good for you. I think if you went to a trad shop they might sell you a couple of single arrows to try including s few carbons.Maybe someone here that shoots that weight will join in and get you closer to what you need though.

I'm sure you can find a carbon that will love that poundage. Ask Shawn Leonard.  :readit:

Nah, they just threw it in a hamper, and then threw a load of books destined for an APO on top, and then a bunch of crates of Ruby Red Grapefruits...

I may have a couple of old flu flus for you  :D  but you should try the laminated birch shafts at the draw wieght they are a little stiffer than poc.
