I tend to leave mine a little long, at 29". I draw about 26"

Been using aluminum since the beginning. Killed my first deer with a Herter's aluminum in 1962.
Of course I've killed a pile of stuff with wooden shafts, fiberglass and carbon but have probably done more with aluminum than any other.
For years when I shot 70#+ I used Easton 2219 and now since I've dropped back in weight to 55 to 60# @ 28" I use 2216's. Flight characteristics are perfect even though I tell myself I should be shooting a lighter spine.
None of the lighter shafts I've tried shoot as well as the 2216"s.
I've also used a variety of point weights on them from 125 gr. to 190 with no real impact on arrow flight.
