Do a search for Stu's calculator, I think that has helped many guys with that question. I've read alot of good things posted about it, but have yet to use it myself.

Good Luck.

What weight head?  Longbow or recurve?  Cut to or past center?

Lotsa variables.  We need more info.  So far you might get away with 65-70# but may need 70-75# or more if you use a head over 145 grains.

85-89 lb for a 125 gr point, add 5 lb for a 160 gr point.  BW recommends a multiplier of 1.4 x draw wt for a 28" arrow and 125 gr point.  That says 90 lb, five more than my numbers.  90 may be more than you need, but it won't hurt anything, either.
