Need to know your draw length in order help. The bows weight at 28" means nothing without knowing what the persons actual draw is.

If it were me, I would try 65/70 Surewood Shafts from Braveheart archery. Call Tim up and he will get ya all set up!

Im looking for carbon arrows and they will be used for hunting pigs. any thoughts on goldtip arrows? And what grain inserts and broadhead's would suit?

I would try 55/70 carbon arrow with the light brass insert 50 grains I think they are, and 160-175 grain broadhead.
I have shot a few carbon arrows, but know wood a little more

A GT 5575 cut to 30" with a 125gr tip should tune for you. That's with a 14strand FF string and cut past center. If it's cut to center, a 5575 with a 175gr up front will tune
