Title: Arrow Size???
Post by: stickbow24 on March 19, 2007, 11:43:00 AM
I am shooting a 56#-58# recurve.

Aluminum Arrows

125grain magnus stingers

27 to 28" draw  (never checked)

I would perfer to lean on the side of too heavy than too lite.  

Thanks

maybe 2117 or 2216. Both are good stout arrows.

2018 would probably work as well

Try a 30" 2020 also, if you can find them. Might have to bump the tip weight a bit but they are some pretty tuff arrows.

Too bad I already have the broadheads  so i will have to get an arrow that will work with 125 grain.

I shoot a 59# and a 60# recurve and my arrows are cut 29.75-30".  I shoot a 2216 and 2219 out of them with 125 grains up front and they shoot great.  They are similar arrows the 2216 only has .039" more deflection than the 2219.  I would think a 2117 or a 2216 would be plenty for you.  Just my opinion.

I shoot the same weights you do, my draw is 27". I shoot 2117's (swagged) to 28.5" to the end of the swag. Been shooting this setup religiously. The 2216's are stiffer and even with a 160 gr Snuffer up front, I had to cut them 29 .5". Can't go wrong with 2117's.

I shoot a 57@28 recurve.  My aluminums are 28 1/2 2018s with 150 grains up front.  These showed slightly strong with 125 up front for reference.

I have luck with a 30 inch 2219 with 125 grain heads out of a 60@28 and a 58@28. I like my arrows long anyway, so this works for me. And those things are hogs - 600 grains without any brass inserts or other additives.
