Default Need help with arrows

Got my wife a Parker Buckshot for Christmas. 40-50lb draw weight(starting her at 40), got her set to 27" draw length. We're both new to bowhunting so we know nothing about arrows and points. We'll worry about broadheads later, but for now we need some assistance selecting arrows and points for practicing. What do we need to know? Any recommendations? Thanks!

"Beman", is this a brand of arrow? Like I said we don't know anything about arrows (and we'll worry about broadheads later), what specifically do we need to look for. Grain weight? Composition?

The ravens good for a 40-50lb draw?

The best thing to do would be to go to a good proshop and have then help you get arrows with the right spine to fit your wife's drawweight.

There are literally HUNDREDS of arrows to choose from out there....But I'll narrow it down a tick.....

Easton Axis in a 500 spine, depending on her draw length and needed arrow length, but at under 50#'s of draw weight, a 500 spine would work well. Just re-read your original, yes, a 500 spine will be perfect.

If you don't want carbon, look at a 1916 aluminum.

Gold Tip makes good arrows, as does Beman, Carbon Express, and several others.
