Default What spine for a longbow?

Just got back from a house cleaning/death. Friend's father who taught us to fish, shoot skeet, etc. Anyway, got 3 bows, 2 are martin vision longbows/hybrid recurves, seem almost unused/new, 45 & 55 lbs with strings. Also a old 50lb Bear Kodiak with a leather grip, no string. Also got a bunch of archery tools,doo-dads etc. Seems like he bought the two new ones and never got a chance to use them. Don't know where the arrows went as he was not able to shoot or do much of anything else for the last two years or so and the kids wanted me to have them as I am the only one of us who hunts. I would like to shoot the new ones(the bear may just be a wall hanger even though nothing is wrong with it). What spine arrows should I buy? I would like to get arrows that I can adjust/tune simply by cutting down arrow length and adjusting arrow head weight. I have a 29.5 draw length with a compound bow and have lots of 100 & 125 grain field points and broadheads. I would like to avoid having to buy a bunch of different spined arrows or more field points or broadheads or at least limit it to only one or two different spined arrows which I can then cut down to tune. Thanks for any help. (would prefer rec omendations aluminum arrows as I can more easily cut length to tune)
side note,was a real trip down memory lane seeing the old garcia mitchells, Pflueger sea kings etc along with the conolon and double eyed tonkin cane rods.
