I dont have an excessively long draw but I do shoot some heavy bows. Had to give up on pre-made wood shafts. The manufacturers just dont accommodate the big boys like you and me. I have tried making shafts from dowel rods but have had trouble getting them straight enough. You might have luck with a 3/8 poplar dowel though. Or a 7/16 if your shooting 60+. Good luck to ya. PM me if you have any questions.

Re the reparrows, I use a sanding disk and jig to get perfect tapers.  That's probably why they work so well for me.  Using a hand tapering tool can sometimes give you an uncentered taper, which will in turn throw off the reparrow.

Get an arrow fix and make your own footings. Preferably from black locust...
If you have a router table, you can make your own shafts for those footings....
