Arrows and Broad Heads

I finally found a bow that I can afford and is in good condition. I am not sure who the bower or company is that makes the bow though. It is a 50 lb. at 28″, 60″ long bow. Can anyone recommend some pre made arrows to get started with and also broad heads. I would like to go with a 3 blade BH and try to stay with a wood arrow. What arrow and BH weight should I be trying to get to? In the future I would like to make my own arrows, so would like to be able to copy the arrows. Thanks for the help.

Any idea what the shelf is cut too? Maybe some 45/50 POC arrows. What is your draw? Need a little more input but you can start with some Port Orford Cedars cut to 29″ in the 45/50# spine and go with a 125gr Magnus Snuffer or Woodsman.

If your bow s cut more to center and your draw is long then you may need a heavier spine weight.

For example, I shoot a three piece longbow that has a deep shelf (not quite center) and it is 58@28″. My draw is 29.5″ and that puts my spine on wood arrows at 70-75 spine.

You might want to consider buying a test kit of shafts (or complete arrows) in different spines. This typically includes three ranges of spines, for example, 40-45#, 45-50#, and 50-55#. In the long run, it might save you time and money in trying to match shafts to your bow. Several of the leading traditional equipment dealers and arrow makers offer them.
