I use 2020's and 2018's out of my Pete George longbow. It is 64lb.@28in. The 2018's were for a recurve originally but they work better out of longbow.
Some of my 2020's are old Gamegetter Greens. I have hoarded my AO 2020's for hunting only. Actually it was Pete George who recommend the alum. arrows to me when he called to see how I liked bow.

I just switched from alums and I will go back if this year doesn't work out.  There is no probelm using alums they are great they can get you up to the weight you want without alot of extra stuff.
