Before you can properly choose a shaft, you need to figure out how much weight you want on the front. Some people want to keep the shaft light and don't care if they lose stability to get it. Others (like myself), want a lot of weight up front and I put very heavy tips on my arrows. I want a very high FOC.

A lot of weight up front will weaken the spine, so you need a stiffer arrow. There are a large number of combinations that will work. When you throw carbons into the mix, you can obtain even higher FOCs, making the options almost endless.

I would recommend Easton ST EPICS 400 with a 100 grain tip, he will have to tune his bow + or- a few pounds once he gets shooting it is a an arrow that I use to set up most people at first until they decide from there what there demands are.

With 100 grain tips 2215s would be nice 2314s might be easyer to find and close , if he wants a heavy arrow 2217 fits the bill
