I draw about 27.5" .  The guy at the store where i purchased this bow recommended 400 spine carbons.  I agree they seem too stiff.  I have 125 grain field points on the tips.

Also, i would love to shoot wood arrows.  However, i feel like the carbon arrows are more uniform to shoot.  I think with me being a beginner using carbons may help, at some point though i would like to move to wooden arrows. Am i thinking right??

Welcome to the gang.  Try using heavier points.  It may not be enough but worth a shot for the time.  

The most important thing to remember is to have fun, dont get so serious you get upset.  when/if that happens, put the bow down and come back later.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

400s will for sure be too stiff. A 500 will work better. If u can get your hands on some 2016's I bet those would be perfect as well.

There's really not a "right or wrong" way to think, but nothing wrong with your logic.

There are a couple of us meeting at the PCBH range on Thursdays after work, always room for another.    :campfire:
