32" Aluminum Arrow For 66", 35# @ 30" Recurve

[Night Wing]

I have another 66" long, Blacktail Elite VL take down recurve bow coming in a few months and it's going to be around 35# @ 30". I will be setting the brace height at 7 3/4". I shoot aluminum arrows and I will be using 32" long arrows before point is attached. I bought this bow just for fun to shoot some 3D shoots and small game hunting. I've recently decided to try for some javelina next year during the months of February through April with this new bow. I want to use a 2 blade glue on broadhead fitted with a 11/32" Zwickey long broadhead adapter which will bring the point weight to somewhere between 125-130 grains. Now, my first Blacktail Elite take down recurve is 66", 42# @ 30". This bow shoots a variety of different spined arrows if I change the brace height. At present, my 42# bow, with a brace height of 7 3/4" loves a 2213 aluminum arrow with a 150-160 grain point weight. Total arrow weight is around 525-535 grains. This gives me 12.5-12.7 grains per pound. Based on what my 42# Blacktail likes, with a 7 3/4" brace height, I'm thinking a 32", Easton 2212 Eclipse X7 aluminum arrow tipped with 125-130 grain point weight might fit the bill for the 35# recurve. This arrow setup would weigh around 469-474 grains with 13.4-13.5 grains per pound. This is a heavy enough arrow to take a javelina with. The key is I want to shoot a 32" long arrow before the point is attached so my choices are limited since Easton did away with quite a few different aluminum arrow spine sizes. What's your opinion on my 2212 selection?

Joe - I think an 1816 or a 1916 would be a better choice, depending on the old Easton chart

the shafts with the .12 thousands wall thickness are just too delicate

Jack,

The problem with an 1816 is it only comes at 30" as a full length shaft and the 1916 is only 31" as a full length shaft. I need a 32" cut arrow before field point or broadhead is attached. The 2212 is 32 1/2" as a full length shaft. I can buy 1/2 dozen Easton 2212 X7s at Bowhunters Superstore for only $42. I might be able to use a 2016 and I've already got one set up for this bow, but it would be much heavier in overall arrow weight than the 2212. Another choice is a 32", 2114 which I've also got ready.
