I would start out with a 2018 or 2114 but you may find you have to go a tad stiffer.  Maybe up to a 2020 or 2117.

Every shooter and bow is different, but I concur with Tim, start with a 2018 or a 2117, that should be very close.

2020...very durable and could be a tad stiff if so a 2018. If too weak a 2117.RC
