A lot depends on the weight up front and length of arrow.  I have shot alum. for years and I would say a good start would be 2117 around 400 deflection.  I shot 2216's with 175 up front out of 55# bows with very good results.  You might also consider 2020's a heavier weight arrow a little weaker in deflection than 2117's. With some testing I am sure any of those listed will work.

Im thinking buzz cuts or woodsmans up front

Concur with Maxwell. A lot of variables I shoot a Kindred 59# with a fastflight string.  I  just bought a dozen 2020s and they bareshaft tuned great with 145 grain field tips. I recommend getting some field tips in 125 145 and 175 grain and see what works best with your set up. Good luck and happy shooting

I would think a 2117 with 125 up front would be good start.  I think you will have some room for cutting shafts shorter to make stiffer if needed and want to use a heavier head.

I am using 2117 cut to 29in with 145 grain tips for my 60# recurve. I like 2020 size as well, heavy to begin with, but another size to consider is 2018. I tend to lean toward the smaller diameter shafts for hunting.
