51# sounds about right, give or take a pound or two.  I'd go with 50-55# cedar shafts, a 125 or 140 grain field point and about 125-145 grain head, something like a Zwickey Delta, Magnus II, STOS, etc.

Hello HH

I am going  to say you are still drawing 53-54#'s. I would suggest a cedar 11/32 45-50# cut to 26" or the 50-55 cut to 28" All with 125 fieldpoints. As a broadhead I like woodsman, magnus stos eclipsAnd I never leave home with out a JUDO point...

Thanks Guys: Like I said Im new and was not sure about suck a short arrow "26". Would they fly as good as a "28"?? I do have a 25" draw, When you add length to arrows over your draw you haft to add lbs as well "right" Thanks Again - Hard Head -

An arrow that is  tuned properly flyes better than one that is not. Thats about it.I mentioned leaving them long because you can always shorten them if they are week spined. If they are stiff you can add point weight or sand the shaft( not recommended unless you have a spine tester) Are you shooting any arrows through it now??
