I'm working on getting an aluminum arrow set up for my bows. They run 42#-45# @ 28". I pull 28". Bows are cut to center.
I have been recently been playing with a 2016 xx75 Gamegetter. Currently it is cut to 30" with 125gr tip. It shoots & flies well when I do my part. I tried a 175gr tip to up my FOC and from about 15yds it flew alright but hit right of where i was aiming. Anything beyond 15yds it's flight looked unstable. I'm curious if I cut it down another half inch if that would stiffen the shaft up enough for the heavier tip. Or should I try a 2018 or 2020?
Last question what is the difference between the regular black Gamegetters versus the Legacies (besides shaft color)?
Thanks in advance guys!
Color and nocks are different. I would cut down the shaft. I wouldn't go to a heavier spine.
I think you are shooting arrows that are too stiff.
Yes your spine should be fine at your weight,cut id down,it should be ok.

I think you would be much better off with a 1916.
im shooting the same setup 2016 are to stiff i believe 1916 would be a better choice. i can use a 125 to 165 tips.
I shoot 30 inch 1916XX75s with 125 grain tips out of a 44# Chek Hunter II and they fly like darts.
Thanks for the help guys. I'll be looking into the 1916.
I use a 1916 on bows from 43#-47#. I draw 27", arrows are 28" BOP, w/125gr heads. I like the swaged nock end and use Legacy' & Blues.
Another choice would be 2113's cut 29" with 125 grain heads or 29.5".
