Probably a 1916 would work fine.

I've shot nothing but aluminum in many different bows for years now, lately mostly lighter and at shorter draw.  Thinking back, I'm guessing at those stats 1716 would be a reasonable starting point.  Maybe 1816 if you are planning on heavy tips.  I'll be interested in seeing what other guys recommend.

Years ago, when I was building and trading and having guys come by all the time, I got a set of Eastons in each of their sizes and keep them up on the rack so that I could always get at least a beginning match to any bow that showed up.  Unfortunately, I've forgotten a lot of what was second nature to me back then.

1816s should work.  Leave them long, and maybe add a little weight up front if they are too stiff.

1816 should be perfect. 1916 definately too stiff.
