Get some good hardware dowels buddy. Im not even sure POC is made that light? It seemes 30-35 may be the low limit.

Yeah that what I've found out... I've use 5/16 poplar dowels for dozens of arrows, but I never spine them... They seem to fly very well, I just wanted to go fancy and make a matched set for a new bow I made...

I may have some OLD 60's or 70's youth arrows in the shop. You would have to sand them down bare and start over. Some are orange, blue, green , yellow, white and all. It may be more work than its worth to be honest with you. Do get that low of a spine on what I assume is a very short arrow, you may need to drop to 1/4" hardwood dowells. Or you can get some 50 grit and sand some 30-35's down 5-8#'s.
