I am going to make up some Legacy aluminum arrows for my old Kodiak Magnum recurve. It is 40#@28" and I shoot a 28" arrow with a 125 gr. point. The chart says 2018. Does that sound right?

sounds right to me the 2018s are great shafts

2018  seems on the stiff side to me... i'd lean towards the 1916...

1916s should be about right

1816 for a 28" arrow with a 125 grain tip.

dave... i thought 1816 too... but i wasnt sure if the magnum was cut to center and would take a tad stiffer arrow....

magwa, don't settle on what a chart says  or what works for others. Your shooting style will determine alot. 1816, 1916, 2016 and 2212 or 2013 if you could find any.

2018 is way stiff. I use 1916 on my bows in the 40's.

I would go with the 1916

1816.
You are pulling less than 28", hence the 28" arrow. so, you are shooting a little less than 40#.

The 1916, which is available in the Legacy, would be OK with a heavier head, 145-160 grains.

Couldn't agree more!!

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I have Legacy 1916s which I shoot with my 45# longbow. They seem to shoot quite nicely with a 145 gr. field point. It is nice not to have to work up a whole different set of arrows for my recurve.

Actually shooting a 29" arrow, which seems to be just right for the recurve.
