brand new trad shooter

[Herbert]

Well I know this topic is bound to pop up every time a new shooter comes on the board. But I could use some help.
I shot recurves a long time ago and really enjoyed it. Abot a year an half ago I purchased a compound to hunt with. Well I never was really satisfied and just had a longing for another traditional bow. So today I came across a very lightly used bear montana.
I need arrows to start with. The bow pulls 55@28 by the writing on the bow. I have not scaled it yet.My anchor point is going to put me about 26 inches of draw. What arrows and wieght of tips should I start with?
I would like to use cedar arrows. I am thinking 125 grain points but not sure of that. Any suggestions?
How bout a good book to walk me thru the beginning steps.
Thanks
Herbert

Herbert Welcome to the forum. If the charts are correct your bow will pull about 49lb at your 26" draw. You will loose about 3lb for each inch under 28" you draw. This is given the bow actually weighs what it says. If that is the actual weight I'd start with arrows spined 50/55lb, a 125 gr point should be just fine. Hope this helps. someone who actually builds arrows as a profession may be able to help more. Good luck Frank
