Warhawk, Check out 3Rivers Archery. They are a sponsor of this website and they have finished arrows or components to make your own. They also have a video on making arrows. Port Orford Cedar is a good shaft and most commercial arrows are made with POC. The folks at 3Rivers are all archers and can help you choose the right arrows, or components, for your bow and draw.

what pat said. if you want wood shafts go with sitka 5/16th shafts . nice and light for a bow that weight. carbons , id reccomend the easton 600's. cheap, go with the easton jazz (aluminum). 1416 should shoot from it . length on the jazz may be too short if you have a long draw though.
