Default RE: so here is my plan

...what are some good cheap carbon arrows that will shoot straight.
'Good' and 'shoot straight' are not compatable words with 'cheap' when you're talking carbon arrows. As far as buying arrows from walmart, that's kinda like going to a proctologist when you need brain surgery.I really don't know for fact, but it seems like the arrows I've looked at in the wally's around here, most look like factory seconds.

But you have an ace in the hole with your short draw length. Your arrows are plenty short enough that you shouldn't have too much trouble with straightness. What I'd do, if I were in your shoes, would be to buy the arrow saw Aussie showed you, then process your own shafts. Cut half off each end when cutting them down to your arrow length. The ends of the raw shafts are where the worst straightness problems are, so cutting both ends off leaves you with the best part of the shaft for your arrows. Then just get plain ol' Gold Tips.

In the meantime though, until you get the saw, those carbon stalkers you talked about above would do just fine.
