New to bow hunting
Hey guys I'm new to this site and to bows, so I'm looking for some help on some set up. In a couple days I should have my new bow. A Reflex Buckskin with #65 draw weight and 65% let off and a 29in. draw. I will be using my bow for deer hunting. My question is what arrow length, and weight should I use? What weight broadhead should I use? Any help would be great guys.

For your first arrows go to a pro shop and buy a half-dozen, they'll fix you up with the right length, spine, etc. Then you can order online if you find a real good price. Personally, I try to go to my local pro shop for arrows because the online prices are only a little less, and I like giving the guy my business. I'd hate for him to go out of business! That's just the way I feel (I wouldn't be caught dead in Wal-Mart either!).

A general rule is to cut your arrows 1 inch past the riser. I shot acc super lites. Another general rule is for your arrow to weigh 5 grains per pound of draw weight. 65# = 325 grain arrow have fun and let us know if we can help ya.
