I would be shooting 2018’s or 2020’s with 175 grain heads.

I'm shooting 2018 out of a set up like that and 2117 also. The length of the shaft can be a big factor.

At that bow weight and BH weight I would be looking at 2117. 2020’s aren’t made . Can’t comment on the 2018’s , never used them in a bow over 55#’s.

2117 is probably the easiest to find and should work.

Yeah, 2018 or 2117 would either be good. I used to shoot 2018’s out of a 61# longbow.

Thanks everybody for all the input it looks like 2117 is the general census.

The good thing about 2117 is 3Rivers shows the .400 spine Gamegetter to be 2117. I have some and like them as good as the camo shafts that show to be a tad straighter in tolerance.
