I shoot aluminum 2016's at 30 inches with 125gr tips. At my 29 inch draw, my bow is around 42lbs.
Obviously, 1 inch is not enough for the head to clear the shelf, so my next set will be 31" 2117's with 175gr heads (conveniently close to the weight of a zwickey delta screw-in
). In my defense, I thought my draw was 28 when I made them.
That setup should keep roughly the same stiffness- my arrow flight is good enough that I've had multiple compliments on it. It should be a better hunting weight in any case.
I like the aluminum's because they're cheap- just because they fly well doesn't mean I don't miss targets
I do wish they were a bit less noisy, but they seem to hold up well until I shoot things like rocks or blocks of concrete
Gamegetters are the cheapest, but the plastic nock bushings can split on hard impacts (though usually these also bend the arrow, so maybe it's a moot point).
I also have Easton Camo's and they're the same just with aluminum bushings
