Default New Bow, Need Arrows- HELP!!!

I have a Horne Combo Hunter with 64" Longbow limbs, 50# @ 28" draw, my actual draw length. Here is my question, what arrows can I shoot? I prefer carbon, with aluminum being second. I don't know anything about arrows and traditional equiptment. Based on the bow, I need recomendations on what to shoot? Thanks for the help-

Go to www.bowjackson.com and look at his various shaft selection charts and you will be able to identify the carbon and/or aluminum arrow that will work with your bow. Folks that have your weight range of bow and are currently shooting carbon or aluminum could give you a recommendation without you having to go to a chart.

Good luck on your journey!

Go to the Easton Arrow site, I think its easton.com. Click on Legacy arrows and use the arrow selection program. It's for recurves and longbows. You can use the regular arrow selection program but it tends to recommend really stiff arrows.

I would be a 2016 would shoot pretty good out of it for aluminum and if going with carbon go with the 35-55 goldtip hunters and use the gametracker weight tube to get the weight up on them. I would opt for a heavier 150gr head because most carbons are notoriously stiff spined.
