Another vote for the 2213.  I have some shafts, but not tried yet...My 2016's are too weak with my 40# recurve and 45# longbow.  If I get below 200 total point/insert I move up.  My vintage 80's Darton compound that I shoot fingers with a Berger/stick on rest absolutely love the 2016's; goes to show how much more efficient a good trad bow is.

I'm an oddball, I have always preferred 22xx arrows to 20xx. 2213 is a great arrow for 50-55lb recurves. I killed several deer and a black bear with 2213s. They do bend easier due to the thin wall, but for hunting who cares? I always ended up with a 530-530 grain arrow with 2213s and Snuffers.

Try the 2016. Its a little lighter but still plenty of weight to hunt with.

Ok, thanks. Actually a pretty good idea.

I was elk hunting with a full set of Winona camo with two pair of pants on. It was cold! It warmed up around noon so I switched to a different pair -maybe dry ones, don't remember. When I got back to the tent-camp, my pants had fallen off somewhere.🤷🏻�♂️

Phil, what is the purpose for the two leather loops?

I might try to make some leather goods for my grandson, eventually.

Right now I am in the midst of learning how to make a Flemish twist string. I succeeded in making a jig. My first string was a learning experience- I'll say that.

The leather loops are to tie on an extra shirt or rain jacket if needed. Works for a squirrel or rabbit too.

I have made a few to many over the years. This is my last one. For some reason the stitch rather than lacing caught my attention. The original ones like this I read were made by King Leather for Howard Hill archery? No, I didn't count the stitches. I did hand stitch it, not machine done.

For the last couple years I've been shooting 2018s from 50ish lb bows with reasonable success. My arrows weigh about 630 grains. My only complaint is they are almost too heavy for my liking and I get a lot of drop past 20 yards. I've considered trying a 2213 or possibly a 2114 instead. Back when I shot heavy bows I used 2219 and loved them but I don't plan on going back to the heavy weights anytime soon.

Was wondering what shafts everyone preferred for 50-55lb bows. I shoot 200 grain snuffers up front.

Yep...looks like one I did years ago (30ish) bow still in one piece and shoots fine

I will add that the dimensions of length/width/depth are totally up to the builder.  One reason I got into making back quivers was that all of the commercial ones were too short of length, and the cost of a custom back quiver was ridiculous compared to the cost of DIY.

This one was for my youngest daughter, built many Many MANY moons ago ...

Job well done Kenny/ thank you!
