I'm shooting a Stalker Wolverine, with static limbs , FF string,51#'s @ 27 inches. I draw to 27 inches, and shoot off an elevated rest. I want to shoot Simmons Landsharks 160 grain. I have on hand 1916's, 2018's,and 2016's .out of that combo what would you choose and what length shaft should I start with. I know th one that shoots best,but I'm just trying to find the optimal combo. Thank you for all responses

With that much weight up front, I'd go with the 2018s, perhaps cut one inch longer than your draw length, i.e., 28 inches BOP.

I think those bows are cut past center. I think the 1916 would be out for sure. I would play with both the 2016 and the 2018. Both of those arrows will get stiff if you cut them down to 28" I would leave them full length,and maybe start cutting them down. I don't think you can cut a 2018 down that short with just 160 grains,but maybe the cut past center will help.

It's because the bow is cut past center that it can handle/even require a much stiffer spine. Even the 2018 might not be stiff enough. It spines about 67#, that's about a .500 spine, actually. .470.
Friend is shooting almost the same outfit two spine ranges heavier -- .340 -- though the jump from .400 to .340 is probably due to the 300 grains up front.
