My aluminum arrows and my surewoods are the same spine, the same weight and fly the same for my go to Morningstar and my shorter Robertsons.  My new bow will shoot whatever shoots out of it, I have lots and lots of arrows to pick from.

Cedar with 160 grain Snuffers or two bladed Magnus broadheads. I put on the Snuffers for a fall bear hunt and I might just leave them on for deer season.   :thumbsup:

I shoot XX75 camo hunter aluminums in both my bows...

2018's from the 48#@31 longbow, about 32" long with 125 grain screw-in Simmons or Steel Force heads.

2419's from the 68#@31 recurve, about 32" long with 175 grains worth of adapters and Zwickeys on the business end.

I shoot the same shafts year after year.  While I've got about a 5 dozen supply of each shaft, I rarely ruin (or lose) arrows.  I've got some aluminum arrows that I've been shooting regularly for 4-5 years, and they are really holding up well for me.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.
