Anyone running heavy points on aluminum arrows? I've got a pile of 2117s that I bought for cheap that shoot great with 175 and 200 grain points out of my Toelke recurves.
I have, little more weight then you have there on 2117
I Have put heavy points on my 2117 and 2219 shafts and have been using them from my ILF bow. Also use 175 grain tips on my 2020 arrows for my ASLB, 64@28.
I shoot 1918's with 175 gr. point off of all my #45@27" bows.
I used my 2219 with 175grs back then with success.
Only problem with efoc on aluminum or wood is that the shafts typically carry a fair amount of weight on their own that putting a lot up front makes them super heavy.
I wouldn't call 175-200 up front "Efoc" when the standard is 125g. It certainly will help though.

My brain seems to be set for about 165-170 fps. Which is about what these 600ish grain arrows are doing off my high 40s chinook. I guess I'll run aluminum as long as I've got them. I'm heavily invested in 200 grain broadheads and 2117 arrows, guess I should just consider myself lucky that all the inventory is playing nice together.

I'm shooting 200gr. on 2018's out of a 44# Super Kodiak and 200gr. on 2117's out of a 50# 21st Century Nova.
250 gr on 2216s from either 56# Assenheimer or 55# Mojostick.
51# Hill longbow, 175gr points on 2114's. These arrows give me 10grs per pound of draw weight.
30" 2117s with 260 grain points (160 field tips /100 groan steel inserts put together with JB Weld).
