I shot Legacy 2018 aluminum with my Pronghorn 1-pc., 51 lbs., 26 1/2" drawlenght. Arrows cut to 28". Great combination, excellent arrow flight with target points or broadheads. But, I sold the bow this summer at the Denton Hill Traditional shoot. Currently, I'm shooting Legacy 2016's with my other bows, which are a little less poundage. I've always found aluminum very easy to work with, tune with my bow/s, and also find them to very durable.

Yep bows around 49 to 54 #s at 29 to 30 inches draw.arrows are cut to 30.5 to 31 inches.great arrow.I use 2016s out of my lighter bows and 2020s out of my heavier bows.
A 2115 is also a good choice if you like 2018s and are looking for a lighter arrow with a little more zip.They spine about 3 #s heavier than a 2018.
2018 and 2020 are the best aluminum arrows for me for hunting when i shoot aluminum with thier 5/16th size and thicker walls.

I shoot them out of my 55# Coyote, 55# RER Arroyo, and my 52# Bob Lee.
All cut to the same length with the same tip weight. Most versitile arrow in my opinion.

Ditto on the above.
I cut them to 29" and use 125 gr heads out of a 53# @28" longbow. So far, so good!
