2018 with a heavier tip and a 2016 or 2114 with a lighter point would be tunable
67" Hill Tembo, 50@27
67" Hill Half Breed, 53@27
66" Hill Redman, 48@27
66" Hill Cheetah, 55@27
66" Hill Big Five, 50@27

Yep, 2018 would be my guess also.  Guessing around 30" or so for a starting point.  Good luck.

For reference.

I'm 49#'s @ 29.5" I shoot a 2018 aluminum shaft cut 30.5" BOP with 150gr up front.

I can bare shaft tune and BH tune to 30 yards on a good day.

I would start with a 2016. A 2018 is gonna be on the stiff side.

A 2213 is hard to beat also.

The neat thing is that Bob Lee bows are pretty much center shot and will shoot a wide range of shafts well. I would start with a 2018, and if it flies well with your point setup, stay with it because they're tough and heavy shafts.
