I've noticed a lot of longbow shooters are using 5mm shaft sizes. Being smaller diameter, they're closer to center-shot, so they seem to have better flight. 
A couple of weeks ago, I was at a local archery shop and shot some of the Axis 5mm 600 spine arrows and was very impressed with how they flew out of my ILF Longbow. So, I ordered the shafts, feathers, wraps and inserts and today all the components arrived. I'm letting the glue set up overnight and in the morning, I'll cut them to length and glue in the inserts....and they'll be ready to shoot. The yellow wraps really enhance the lime green feathers and should be quite visible in flight.
A 29" arrow length, 75 gr. half-out SS inserts and 150 gr. field tip weight. TAW at 460 gr., which is right at 10.2 gpp.
My ILF Longbow is 45#, so these will workout great.
