Arrow selection help!

[Blood Trail 2]

Ok folks, I'm new to trad thanks to Deb and Arvin!;)b I have some questions on arrow types. This is what I've found on Easton site regarding selections of arrows, but I want real time , real life advice.
All of these are XX75
2413= light and fast
2314, 2315= medium weight
2216= heavy weight

Which one would you chose and why?

I'm leaning more towards the 2216 cuz my bow is 45#@28 in. This is my first bow and I think might I might need a 60+# bow. The 45 is alot easier to draw than I was thinking. Can this 45# really kill a deer? Man, those arrows seem to move so slow! :D  I used to my Monster throwing 510 gr arrows at 308 fps (107#ke).

Thanks in advance!

HEAVY, Because it helps to keep the bow quiet and hits hard...

go to 3rivers and use their arrow chart... I find it to be dead on with stu's program ( Stu miller said 60-65 30"BOP w/160 for My Hill bow and 3Rivers said the same thing)

I would think you would be way over spined with any of those arrows. I would think a 2016 would be a good starting point.

Same here, you can't pick an arrow just by the arrow wt. itself. It must be spined correctly for your bow in order to fly well. It's not like compounds where you are looking for a certain finished wt. arrow and forget about spine.

For your poundage and draw length you will need something in at least the .500 range.
The 2016's would fall right in there depending on what wt. tip you want to use.

Could someone break down the whole arrow number system ie '2216". What does that mean?

Copied from the Easton site-

The first two numbers are the outside diameter in 64ths of an inch. The second two numbers are the wall thickness in thousands of an inch. For example, a 2514 shaft would be 25/64th of an inch in diameter and .014 of an inch wall thickness. OD and wall thickness are the two variables in controlling spine for aluminum arrows.

Hi,
I'm new here too, but not new to archery. I've killed deer with 45# and 50# using the Easton 2016's with Bear Razorheads. You will get a pass through with this set up as long as you keep your shots within a reasonable range (out to 20 yards)and place your shots properly. My arrows were cut to 29" and the Razorheads with inserts were 145 gr I think.

To anwser your question on 45 lbs for deer , yes that will work fine , keep your shots close and put the arrow where it needs to go . On you arrows you are way over spined with the arrows you mentioned . For 45 lbs you should be shooting a 1916 cut about a inch longer than your draw with 125-145 point .

The first two numbers are the outside diameter of the shaft in 64ths of an inch, i.e., 22/64th.  The second two numbers are the shaft wall thickness in thousands of an inch, i.e., 16 thousands.  A 2216 is spined about 85#@28 inches. A 2016 is a tad over 60#@28 inches.
