1916 should work for you
Put some air under it.

Depending on length and point weight either an 1816 or 1916 should work.  I shoot either .600 GT Ultralight carbons or .600 Victory Vap's in several bows.  I like to enter a trad tournament every year that requires either aluminum or wood arrows.  1816's cut to 27 3/4” with 90 grain points makes a good substitute for either carbon arrow I mentioned.  The 1816's are still heavier than the carbons, but are the lightest aluminum arrows I can find that work.  However, for a longer arrow or a heavier point, I would use 1916's.

The 600 carbons I’ve tested are 53# spine. A 1916 is 53# spine on the same spine tester. So is a 2013 which is also lighter in grain weight.

just my opinion because I shoot 600's and aluminum's and depending on the bow I use 1916, 2016 with heavier point , 2114 for a faster flatter flying arrow...
