DON'T USE THE EASTON CHART..

Yes, 2016's w/125grn should work just fine maybe even 2018's

I would start with the shaft full length as cut down a little at a time until it comes into tune. Ya never it may end up 30"

The Easton chart runs heavy.If I were shooting that setup,I'd need at least 145 grs on a 2016,possibly heavier.

JimB said it right.Seems those charts always want to overspine a man, even on carbons. If they tell ya 400 most of the time I find 500s work better.

The 60's Easton chart says,  1916's or 1918's so with that kind of weight on the end, 2016;s should work fine.

With a 50# longbow I would lean toward a 1916 with 125gr points. With a 50# recurve the 2016 would be good.

I always drop one spine group when chosing arrows for a longbow. My buddy taught me that a long time ago and it has saved me a whole lot of grief, and money.
