With wood arrows it goes by spine. Stiffness of the arrow.

oxtail call up a reputable supplier and tell them you and your bow spec's. They can send you a test kit of 3-4 different spines in your range. Shoot them all until you find the spine that shoot's great. I spent too much money and too much time experimenting when I could have spent 30 bucks on a test kit and been done with it.

I would suggest that you contact Paul Jalon at Elite Arrows, a sponsor on here. He can set you straight. Check out Elite Arrows on the Sponsor Listing.
A lot of variables when choosing the proper shaft in any material.

Try this formula:
Draw weight +5 lbs.
Cut to center +5
every inch over 28" +5/inch
125 gr-145 gr points +0
FF string +5
It should get you in the ballpark. Or try Stu's calculator.
