Im using 29 in 1916 with 3 five inch parabolic fletchings. I am using the standard easton inserts with 125 grain simmons broadheads. I also installed a unibushing and am using easton x nocks. The arrow is right around 450 grains

The bow is a CD archery WF19 riser with 42lb dryad limbs and a ten ring fury string.

Through the chrono I get about 178 ft/sec

I'll chime in. I shoot Easton Legacys 1916 XX75 s 28" with 125gr. Haven't tried the Uni bushings however. The ink on the arrow say it's 10 GPI  which matches my power 42# at
my draw of 26". I might want to add another 20 grs. For me it's good out to 15 yds. Beyond that it's dicey.  Just depends on other factors as shooting / hunting style and most important, experience.

I used to shoot these shafts out of my 50# bows with about 125gr. up front. I think the 1916 are about a 600 spine. Me and my buddy Knobby use to shoot these shafts and were always amazed how well these shafts flew out of 50# to 60# bows. Just try different weight tips up front.

1916s cut to 29" @ my 28" draw. Three 3" shield fletches; 300g p front for a 28% FOC. 41# Javaman Elkheart.Slow but sure.

I shoot them from my 48# bow, I use the uni bushing too and 125 tips. They weigh in at 480 grains and fly perfect even without feathers (for testing) I have them dressed with 3, 4" parabolic feathers.
