If you go with Easton arrows, get a 400 series and don't cut it too short if you want to go with 100 grain heads. Of if you want to cut them to 26", you will be better offwith a 125 grain head. I would go with the Axis series - not cheap, but great arrows and the small diameter penetrates real well - weight is just about perfect for hunting. They weigh about 9.0 gpi in the 400 series -which will put your finished arrow weight, with a 100 grain tip, at about 400 grains.

At that short a draw there is no reason why you couldn't shoot an arrow with a .500" spine deflection. If considering Easton/Beman and you want a little heavier arrow then any of them marked 500 should work. There are lots of choices that vary in quality, price, shaft weight, straightness, etc.

Gold Tip would call for an XT-3555 or Expedition 3555.

Frankly, each manufacturer make an arrow for you. You just have to look at thei respective spine charts and pick one that suits you. Most charts will list the weight of a shaft, too. All you need to do is add the weight of the compnents you'll use.

Try the interactive arrow charts on www.bowjackson.com. Put in your data and it'll spit out several arrows that should suit.

I hate to disagree with everyone on here but at that wieght and draw, I would suggest a .55"-0.6" spine. Maybe a carbon express Maxima 150 with 125gr point but that too will be little stiff.
