I would guess 1535 or 3555 goldtip traditional. Contact BigJim to see if he has any blems. He will lead you in the right direction as to what spine you will need. Good luck on them deer this year. Haven't decided if I wanna try it so early yet because the heat.

Run over here if you need. I've got plenty of 2018, 2117 and a variety of wood and carbon.  My barn is better stocked then most archery shops.  We'll find something that works for you.

Make sure you report back to us Mark, with what arrow you find that works with your bow.

Don't be afraid to go high ( spine) if those don't work.  I have never owned a BW but I HEAR that they are cut deeply and like higher spines than you would think.  That may not be true so take it with a grain of salt till you prove it.

I shoot the same set-up and shoot 400 spine Easton Lightspeed 3Ds, full length, and the points are 125gr.

Widows do like heavy arrows. You might want to give the carbons a try. I'm thinking the CX 90's for sure and even the CX 150's with additional weight up front. Playing with this stuff is part of the fun.

I always use POC, woods. I just don't get why "goldtip is considered traditional ?
