Going to be setting up a 35# r/d longbow for indoor this year and rules require wood shafts. I draw right at 27" so bow will be 32-33 otf and would like the arrow to be 28.5-29" BOP. Would i be better off finding proper spine 5/16" woods and use 125 grain points or use 40-45 spine 11/32" which are easier to find and 145-160 grain points
Personally I'd go with the 5/16 shaft and 100gr tips.
Lighter shaft will give you better trajectory and speed for the indoor shoots.

I agree with 5/16 and 100 gr points.
Here is an option as well if you have a spine tester etc.

I am another in agreement with Grey.
on bow that light.... 5/16 shafts
Ok 5/16 it is. Who are some good sources for consistent 5/16 shafts? I see 3rivers i can get standard poc but not the weight matched in 5/16
Quick's Archery in England sells 70gr and 80gr 5/16 points for wood arrows. You might try them if you're really interested in increased speed.
If you are targeting with these arrows, look no further than here:

If had great, fast, friendly service from rose city archery
Hildebrand would be my choice. Great folks to work with and excellent shafts with tight spine/weight tolerances.
