Raptor Archery will have them; I would suggest a footed Surewood Fir shaft.

Depending on the longbow design(hard R/D)with 200 grain broadheads you may want a bit stiffer unless you cut them 28"s or less! Shawn

Make your own.  Here is a how-to I did a little while ago that turns out a great looking arrow.

You're not drawing over 28 inches so you're not adding any weight to the draw requiring more spine.  The little bit more spine needed for the slightly long arrow is negligible.  Nock that 10# off. 80-85 should work just fine, IMO. Regardless of what we suggest, how you set up and shoot your bow will have the final say on the spine you need. Might consider getting a test kit.  Good luck.
