I use both the 1816 and 1916 XX75 Camo Hunters with a draw weight and draw length of 43#@25". Both of these shafts shoot the same for me.

I'm shooting some 2018's with 150 grain Razorhawks up front and getting good flight from a 43# Morrison ILF riser and Dryad limbs. I have some 2016's that shoot seem to shoot just as well though. Both arrows are fletched with 3 5-inch sheild cut feathers.

2016's with 4.5" 3-fletch, cut to 29" for my 28" draw. 125g points, brass inserts to gain 75g for a total of 200g up front. Fly like darts out of my 44# CH, as well as Morrison ILF 44# and Pronghorn TD 44# at similar weight. The 1916s fly Ok but I want more weight in my arrow, over 500g if possible.

I used 28-1/2" 1916s with my PAII (46# at 28"). 125gr heads. But my PTF, which is 44# at 28", likes 29-3/4" 2117s with 145gr heads. I know they are too stiff but bare shaft testing tells me they are fine.

2117's cut to 29.5" with 160 gr points fly perfectly out of my 42# @ 29" 60" PSAV Widow. I've tried a LOT of other combinations out of this bow and no other combination came close to this setup for dead straight flight and quietness.

42# @ 28" Kanati. I draw 28" and am playing with a 2016 cut to 30" with 125gr tip. 3 5" banana cut feathers and it flies really well. Thinking about fiddling a little more to try and add some weight up front.
But overall I'm very please with it.

I have a long draw but I'll add a couple examples.
I had a 33# @ @8" Howatt Monterey. I drew it 31.5 and shot Easton 2013 at 32" with 125 gr. points.
I had a Kota T/D recurve that was 45# @ 31". I drew it 31.5" and shot the same 2013's.
I have a Great Northern Fieldbow. 43# @ 28" I draw it 30" and shoot 31" 1916's with 145 gr. points or, 31" 50-55 spine cedars with 125 gr. tips.
