I still shoot aluminum's out of my Black Widow. 46# @ 28".  28 1/2" 2020's, three 5" fletch, 125gr Zwickey Eskimos. I've been out of traditional archery for a while and didn't realize that almost all Easton shafts now used the uni-bushing system. I'm not a big fan of this system but it seems that they still offer the traditional nock taper on their legacy shafts.
