bjrogg:
Tinker I think I read you have 190 grain points. Those will require a even stiffer shaft. I believe it's add another 5 lbs for every 25 grains over 125. Your going to need another almost 15 lbs of spine using those weight heads. I think I'd try getting some 125 grains points. Your going to end up with a Atlatl dart for a arrow.
I'm thinking Ed's probably about right for a 125 grain point. I'm thinking around 75 or 80 lbs at that length. I've never made one that long though either.

You may be best off sourcing cane for arrows and using footed shaft inserts. Obviously use what you got now, but, for future, cane can get stiff without much weight.
BowEd:
Correct about the grain gain to spine flucuation.Forgot to mention that.Get rid of those 190 grain points.Not needed here.You'll have more than enough KE from those your gonna shoot....lol.These shafts are doable with dogwoods.
bjrogg:
I agree with Ed. I think those shafts will work for you but I'd switch to 125 grain points.

BowEd:
I just spined ones exactly as the ones you got from me.There is plenty of length and wood there.The nock ends will be close to 23/64" and the tip ends will be close to 3/8" or a shade less than that in the end at 35.25" long.At that thickness they are into 80 to 85 pound spine range.
I think you would be better off using a good 60# bow+ though as the mass weight will be mid to upper 700's.
