I shoot 2117's from all my bows, from 52# to 58# and all the wooden arrows I have, that shoot great from these bows are 55/60 spine.

I draw 27" and all my arrows are 28.5" to the end of the point taper, my aluminum are swagged.

Jake, the static spine of your 2117's is just under .400, which translates over to a 75/80.  That is static spine though, not dynamic spine.  It is not quite as easy as simply matching static spines when converting to an entirely different arrow material.  That's why you see Joe Skipp posting he's shooting 2117's and 55/60's out of the same bows.

It is a rare trad set up that truly needs a 75/80 in a wood arrow shaft.  I'd suggest you post your set up particulars instead.  Be sure to let us know if you're shooting a recurve or longbow, the depth of the shelf (this is HUGE) the bow poundage at your draw, your draw length, and whether or not you are using a high performance FF string, as well as the weight of head you'd like to shoot and how long ideally you would like your arrows to be BOP.

If you do that the crew here can get you close, then I'd suggest a pack of test shafts that is in that ball park so you can learn what the perfect match for you and your set up is.

Omega r/d long bow. 50#@28" which is where I draw. 12 strand ff endless loop string. Bow is cut to center with a Velcro type strike plate. I was thinking wood arrows in the 60/65 pound range. Ideal head weight 150. Ideal arrow length between 29.5 and 28.5.
