Default RE: what arrow would you uses

For straight carbon, I won't recommend a brand because I'm not familiar enough with them, but it would be a high quality arrow - you need to pay the price for straightness at your draw length - with about a .300" spine deflection. Frankly, since my draw length is 2" longer than yours, I would - and did - forgo carbon for aluminum. If you go that route, I'd say a 2317 XX78. If you really want something good, but pricey, 3-71 ACC's. 125 gn points.

I would shoot a 340 series Axis FMJ with 100 grain heads. Although your draw is fairly long, the position of your arrow rest may allow shooting a shorter arrow. You could go as short as 29" and still be in good shape with a 71 lb. bow.

With that type of draw you will need to stay somewere around 11 gpi or better I would probb. agree with Roskoe
100gr head and a Axis FMJ witch if memory serves my correctly is about 11 gpi or 11.1 gpi !

No way. I agree with Art on this one. If anything I'd err on the side of stiff and shoot a 300 spine.
