Welcome to the site! Might help to know your general preferences for arrows.. alum, carbon, wood. Also might want to post on Pow Wow. Lots more traffic there. Lots of guys more expert than me very willing to help. Also use the "search" function, key words "arrow", or "spine". This site is a treasure trove. Anyway, I hear that Mamba is a sweet bow! Good luck!

If the bow is 50 lb @ 28", you will be pulling about 46 lb at 26.5".  For a 28" BOP arrow and 125 gr point a 55-59 should be right on.  I'd recommend tapered fir, but I'm a bit prejudiced that way.   :D
Yes, you will get more hits over on PowWow.  Check the forum guidelines at the top of this page.

I'm new and my draw length went from 27" to 28", so don't cut the arrows too short if you're not set in your shooting form yet. My new ones are 31" on purpose. Later on, when I'm fully developed, I might trim them.
