I've had great service and great results from Badger Arrow and from Big Jim at Big Jim's Bow Company - they're both on the Sponsor Links.  I don't remember whether he's on here, but I've also had great service and pricing from Jerry DeWeese of Stickbowsupplies.com who I met up at Denton Hill a couple of years ago.  Any of them can set you up with just about anything you'd want.

Welcome to the gang. See if anyone recomends Easton 2016 for your first arrows. Everybody has to start somewhere and you already made the first right move by joining Trad Gang.

Well after 20 some odd years of shooting traditional bows heres what I have concluded,  Wood arrows are by far the most forgiving to shoot even those slightly bent seem to find the target better than other material, Alluminum are less work and straitor. But when you shoot as much as I do at everything from game to stumps and weeds, they do tend to get bent.  Carbon are light but they are tough as nails.  I shoot these with a heavy head and shoot great.  All work well so play.  Given prices a arrow shafts I started shooting carbons for the most part and do so with a 175 to 200 grain head and have had great performance.
It's not the size of the game you take that means Success!
It's the experience of pursuing game that give true Outdoor Success!!!!!

1916 OR 600 spine carbon works for me.  There is also another aluminum that I shot well I think it was the 2016 but not sure on that.  What is your draw length?  I would recomend the field point test kit from 3 Rivers.  Also I like the Furniture pads from Wal mart for a side plate becuase it allows easy adjustment by trimming with a razor blade. I know that is a little more than you asked for but some things are just to good not to pass on.  Also check out the tuning page for ACS bows.  You may already know all this but if you don't it is a real time savor.  Good luck.
