I would start with 55-60 if the bow is not center shot and go to 60-65 if it is.  That is if you stay around 125 grain heads.  Give me a call and we can discuss more if you like.  My phone number is on our web site.  Thanks Steve

If your bow is not cut to center I would go with under spined. You should be about 50, 51 pounds of pull. I would try a test kit with 45/50, 50/55.

What spine carbons are you shooting. Good luck.

Forgot to add don't forget when you cut your shafts to leave one inch longer for your taper.

Floyd, if you're really going with wood arrows, Surewoods are a mighty reliable source, as many folks here have expressed in many threads. maybe watch your shaft weights to get where you want 'em. Steve will totally help you out with that.
