Looking for advice on a couple different alum arrows

[mountain lion]

Hey all, haven't been on In awhile. I was wanting to get some new arrows and I was gonna get either the Easton  xx75 game getter or the xx75 camo hunter, what is your opinions on these two arrows. I believe the gamegetters have plastic uni bushings correct? How do they hold up? And also what spine, I'm shooting a one piece recurve 52#@28". I like a longer arrow and I'll probably just shoot 125 gr up front, so would I need 2016 or 2018? Thanks!

I use 2016's with my HHA longbow that is 50#.
   They are 29" BOP w/125 upfront

The xx75 GameGetter 400 (2117) fly nice out of my JD Berry Morningstar (reverse-handle Hill style longbow) 68" 55#@31" (I'm drawing probably 30", so 52-53#).  My arrows are 31.5" BOP, 125gr field points.  However, they are slightly stiff for my Hill longbows which are 50#@28" (54-55# @ 30").
Typically, a recurve likes a little stiffer arrow than a Hill-style longbow of the same draw weight, so if your arrows are similar in length to mine, I think the xx75 GameGetter 400s (2117) would work for you.  If your choice is between 2016 and 2018, I'd go 2018.

2018....

I like the camo hunter better than the Gamegetter.

What jkm97 says. I believe the camo is a stronger shaft even if it is xx75. Check Easton website, they post tensile strength for their shafts.
Either way learn how to straighten them.

I shoot the 2018s ,29.5" long and a 125 ace standard head. I shoot it out of a Thunder Stick ram hunter recurve. Great set up. The 2018 and 2016 are some tuff arrows with plenty of weight to get good pass thru"s.

Hey, Mountain Lion, I have some 2117 XX75 if you want to give them a try.

I'm shooting gamegetters out of my recurve (40@28).  They do have plastic bushings, but I haven't had any problems yet.  I even swapped out all the nocks (they came yellow and I wanted orange), without a hitch.  I'm shooting the 500's.  I am using them for practice, but plan on getting half a dozen camo hunters for hunting.
