Default arrow weight

I bought a Martin hunter 50# at 28. I think i draw 28or 29 inches give or take so i need an arrow that will fit that bow. The shop told me to use 2213 which i cut 32 inches with the nock and point so i can still shoot them off my compund. The total weight of the arrow with a 125 grain point comes to 550 grains. It seems like a good solid hunting weight, but it's so slow that the deer will easily jump the string and it would probably get poor penetration. The 2213 also bend really easy, so stump shooting would be out of the question. I'm lookin into carbon arrows for the recurve. I think an arrow weight of 400-450 grains would work for deer hunting. What size shaft should i start with. What's everybody's set up with traditional equipment.
