Ted, I just looked up the charts and it says 45-50 pounds,but I havent had much luck with that chart. Can't help you on the incerts you'll have to take them to a archery shop and try to find ones that will fit. Micro flite's are about all I shoot anymore.

Good Luck

It changes with arrow lenth, just like carbon or aluminum. You did not specifyyour draw length

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead. The rest is just the delivery system.

35#(30")to 65#(25")
I usually shoot them at 55# cut to 28.5
if you can't find inserts( I think 1918) then use some 1/4" wood dowels about 6" long epoxied into the shaft and then sand( not cut) a taper. make sure the hardware store dowels don't have lengthwise ridges.

The 1968 chart I have list a 29" arrow with 125 gr. point at 48 to 52 pounds. This chart is for hunting arrows not target arrows. It list an Easton 2016 for the same range.

From 61-71 the sizes went from 0-10 and the #8 hunting shafts were listed at 45-50, 50-55, and 55-60. From 71 on the sizes were 0-12 and the #8s were listed at 40-45.

I have some #8s and at 29 inches the spine tester says .460; they do fly like 2213s but are heavier, about 530g w 125g point.

I also have some #7s that test out at .620, and they do fly like 1916s, but again are heavier, about 515g w 125g points.
