I need to get some arrows rigged up for my daughter to shoot 3D with, and need some advice. Her bow is 33@28, and she is drawing almost 25". The wood arrows that came with the bow are very heavy, around 700gr. and the trajectory is pretty poor, especially at the distances that she needs to shoot.
I was thinking about using some GT 15/35's and just leaving them full length, but Stu's calculator doesn't seem to agree. Any suggestions?
Check with Fletcher(Ramin and other woods) and Magnus(poplar). I got some Beaman arrows at dicks in low weight for my son.

Those would be a .600, way too stiff for such low poundage and a short draw. An .800 would be more like it. We stock some affordable .800 shafts.

I'd go with Braveheart's .800's for your daughter.
My three kids, ages 12, 14, and 17, all shoot 35#@28" recurve bows. They draw between 22" and 25" and they all shoot full length 1716 Easton aluminum arrows with 125 grain points with very good arrow flight. I don't know what spine these arrows are but they shouldn't be very stiff at all.
Those CE Predator II arrows that Braveheart Archery sells are a great shaft for the money.
Braveheart sounds like the way. I didn't know the 7 & .800's were available. I have some grandsons so I too will be looking into these!
Try some 5/16" tapered to 9/32 kids arrows from wapiti archery formerly Rogue River. They come ready assembled and need only straightening once and they stay very straight. I usually give them away for deserving kids with bows.
I'm sorry I think I misread your original post, even an .800 will be on the stiff side for that bow IMO. The youth arrows tecum-tha mentioned or something similar might be a better match.
The .700 and .800 arrows are definitely a breath of fresh air for lower poundage or shorter draw stickbows though, just a few years ago .600's were pretty slim pickins.
