River Cane Arrows Opinions and advice

After being a rifle hunter all my life and not missing a shot since i was 16 (49 now) i simply got bored and lost interest so i decided to try bow hunting for the challenge and after doing my research i decided on traditional bow hunting but leaning on the primitive side. I will be hunting on public hunting land and chasing mainly eating size hogs and will be stalking in very thick brush. Now my setup, i bought a custom bow from Ryan Gill at https://gillsprimitivearchery.com/ with a set of his river cane arrows tipped with stone points. The bow is one of his Speed Goat bows and it痴 53in long and pulls #50 at 23 inches with a max pull of 24 inches for a few more #s. The arrows are 30.25 inches long with 80gr stone tips and an average total weight of about 462.5grains and all weigh within 16 grains of each other, they have a FOC of 9.9 to 13.3 and a GPP 9.25 +/-. I also purchased a second set of six arrows with field tips that matches the stone tipped set with field tips for practice.  I am completely new at this but have been practicing for one year in my backyard at exactly 15yds and want to be ready to hunt this fall.  My draw is 29 inches so I知 short drawing this bow so any tips advise and opinions will be great and also advise on how to get more accurate will be greatly appreciated I知 currently grouping at about 8-10 inches.  Also what woodies can i purchase for this setup I知 trying to keep it as traditional as possible so no carbons and I will have to order my arrows since I知 not making my arrows yet so any advice on weight length FOC Broadheads fletching etc will also be appreciated and of course any suggestions on a custom arrow maker too.  Thanks

Sticks:
For consistent accuracy you need a consistent anchor point.You should practice for consistent forum.

Chief RID:
You have certainly increased the difficulty level of your hunting. Good luck. If you are going to limit your shots to 15 yds and closer, I think you can become proficient at the practice butt with a floating anchor. If you get real accomplished you might get lucky in the hunting grounds. Getting close is a whole new game. Enjoy.

There are lots of folks that sell complete wood arrows. Find some local and he will be able to fix you up. 3 Rivers will also help you on th phone to match things up good for any type arrow.
