aluminum shaft question

[huronhunter]

2018's is what I use.
56lbs thunder stick recurve and from a 53lbs Great Nothern Ghost recurve.

2020s should work about perfect with a little tuning. The "lite" were usually on the .016 and thinner walled shafts. As easton dropped alot of arrow sizes they dropped the "lite" marking......like the 2117 and 2215 are really close in spine but 2215 is about 40gr lighter............

My suggestion as well.  I love 2016s.

Thanks guys, If I can find some of the other shaft sizes to try I will. The problem is not many archery shops around here carry aluminum and if they do the selection is minimal. The 2215 have been my closest as of now I purchased 15 shafts for 30 bucks so I will fletch some up and give them a shot.

Guys I'm sorry for beating a dead horse about this shaft question but can anyone tell me why 2215 gamegetters accept a larger index nock (11/32) compared to the 2215 camo hunters which accept my 5/16 index nocks? Is there a difference between the shafts that i should be aware of?

buckeye', The original XX75 shafts(green camo's and autumn orange) had a step-down taper at the nock end(not 2018's) and the gamegetters did not; 22's took a 5/16 and the 20's took a 9/32 nock. 19's and 21's pretty much your choice on bigger or smaller. I believe now the legacy's, gamegetters, and gamegetter II's come with out this step-down taper.  Hope this helps.  If you need to try a few sizes, let me know what you need and I will ship them out to you.

Shick, I appreciate that. Your answer helps a bunch. I think I've got it narrowed down to the 2215s so i went ahead and purchased some of the gamegetter II and camo hunters both with the swaged nock ends. But when i went to fletch some up i noticed the shafts were wanting different nocks and couldn't figure out why. Thanks again.

They just nock right? Or are they hitting right?? I went by the tuning tutorial on tuff heads website course I am messing with carbons but you might try it???
