Going back to aluminums and staying there

Beeman, what weight is your setup you're shooting the 2219s out of?

Here are two kills from last year with 2219s

[Eecho]

Yep, have a bunch of carbons, but went back to 2016s and 1916s for 40-45LB bows

[beemann]

Buckeye Im shooting the 2219's out of my 70@30  30.5 inches long with a 160 grain vpa 3 blade 620 grains total....  2216's out of the 60 @30

[buckeyebowhunter]

You think i could get 2219s flying good out of a 62lb recurve? I have a ton of 2219s and just built a 62lber i plan to hunt with this fall. I usually try to run about 200 grains up front. Usually with Snuffers

That VPA 3 blade is so sweet. I ran a 190 on a 2117 through one last year. Bounded off about 15 yards and tipped over. Heart shots tend to do that.

Buckeye Im sure you could been wondering the same thing myself.  But it may end up being heavier than you want...  Im not an extreme heavy shaft guy but who knows build some up and see what ya come up with.  I would love to hear how it shoots... And how heavy you have to weight the front... good luck..

What would be a good size aluminum arrow suggestion for a 40 lb recurve pulling 44# at 29.5"...?

Probably 1916 but if you shoot over 125 grain head it’ll bump you up to 2016. Like all things arrows you have to tune them. Actually recurve you’re probably 2016 and with a heavier head 2018 due to being more center shot I’m assuming.

[Steve Clandinin]

Rich, with your setup you could go with a 1916 or even a 1816 depending on the weight up front, easily up to 175 grains.

Do any of you guys still have the nock cleaner tool? I don't know if that is the name but it really clean off all the glue and bit of nock. I which I still had mine it would work great on wood as well.

Yes sir that's the one.

[RIVERWOLF]

sweet...Like to have one of those .  Fixing to do some fixing myself this morning....Standard protocol for me....a paring knife  and a little sand paper.   Don't nobody Rat me out on the paring knife. I sharpen it  after !   

[M60gunner]

I have one of those gizmos as well. I made a tag for it so when it ends up on the yard sale table it has a name.

Never drank the carbon kool-aid. I just keep buying them when I find them in the sizes I use so I must be up to about  2K shafts and arrows by now. I can usually choose between two sizes for whatever bow I shoot and prefer the smaller dia and thicker/heavier shafts for my hunting arrows. You cant beat the ease of cutting with a tubing cutter, use hotmelt glue and being able to scrape off old fletching without trashing the shaft. I can also get most bent ones straight enough to keep shooting for practice........YMMV
