Bear Super K.'s and Predators. 48 - 51 lbs. 31" 2018's, Three 5" fletch. 125gr. Snuffers or Magnus II's.
I still shoot aluminum's out of my Black Widow. 46# @ 28". 28 1/2" 2020's, three 5" fletch, 125gr Zwickey Eskimos. I've been out of traditional archery for a while and didn't realize that almost all Easton shafts now used the uni-bushing system. I'm not a big fan of this system but it seems that they still offer the traditional nock taper on their legacy shafts.
#45 ILF longbow setup, 29" 2016"s 150 gr tips. Arrow 505gr. Broadheads Magnus Stinger 2 or 4 blade (150 gr). I have carbon arrows also but prefer the aluminum's. My 2016's are easton's xx75 camo hunters and legacy's. My preference is the Legacy's.

I've always used aluminums when shooting trad bows. There easy to tune to a bow.
My present aluminum arrows I'm shooting are in my signature.
54# at 28" Silvertip I draw to a little over 30". I shoot 2117's full length with a 125 muzzy. I prefer aluminum, fly good and there cheap!
