I am trying to find a good hunting weight arrow that will fly true out of my 57@28 , I draw more like 26, longbow. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

You should be pulling around 51 lbs. You might want to measure it.I would get arrows at around 10 grains per lb.(GPP) or 510 grains total including the head. That setup will kill just about anything in North America.

I shoot 2016's cut to 28.5" off my 51# & 53# longbows. They weigh in at 473gr with a 125gr tip
67" Hill Tembo, 50@27
67" Hill Half Breed, 53@27
66" Hill Redman, 48@27
66" Hill Cheetah, 55@27
66" Hill Big Five, 50@27

I shoot 2016's also out of my 50# and 55# longbows. Mine are cut to 29" B.O.P. and with a old Bear head, they weigh in at 503 gr's, and shoot perfect.
