My guess is a 2016 would work for an aluminum.

With wood at a 25" draw I say 50-55#, some may say go lighter due to the end length of the arrow. But you can always add head weight if needed.

For the wood, call Snag or Braveheart and get a batch of test shafts. Then you can know exactly what shoots best out of her. And use the test shafts over and over for different bows....

Unless you test like this and break em...  :D

You might get away with 1916's with only a 25" draw length?

1916 or less unless you are going to use 300 grains or more upfront.  Probably a 30-35 or 35-40 woodie depending on head weight would be my best guess.
