Title: Help!

The wife bought some arrows that were spined too heavily, got them returned. Looking at the Easton Legacy aluminum shafts, the 2117 were grossly over spined, what spine should I get? Shooting a 50# @28 Hawkeye recurve.

Maybe even some Good Tip traditional, not sure which yet, think I prefer the aluminum

Actual Draw Length?
Point Weight?

Without this info, all you'll get are guesses.

My draw length varies between 28-28.5 going to be shooting 160 grain field points to match up with the zwickey screw in broadheads, either delta or eskimos

I'd go with 2016 or 3555 if you decide to get the Gold Tip trads.

Anything over 29 will work, probably going to order 31.5 so I can do a little cutting if necessary

2016's should be good, if you are leaving them a little long or using a heavy point you might need 2018's

I use Goldtips, they are awesome and don't have a high price tag.
