Coming off Carbons and been playing around with some 2018 Aluminums and kinda liking the simplicity, anyone else, and maybe your setup ? Thanks ...

Bowtie

I shot Legacy 2018 aluminum with my Pronghorn 1-pc., 51 lbs., 26 1/2" drawlenght. Arrows cut to 28". Great combination, excellent arrow flight with target points or broadheads.  But, I sold the bow this summer at the Denton Hill Traditional shoot.  Currently, I'm shooting Legacy 2016's with my other bows, which are a little less poundage.  I've always found aluminum very easy to work with, tune with my bow/s, and also find them to very durable.
The work praises the man.

i have shot them for awhile. i shoot carbons out of one bow but i use 30" 2018s out of the others...nice weight without all the inserts, steel adapters, weight tubes...etc.

Yep- 54# LB, 145 heads, cut to 29in

Steelhead

Yep bows around 49 to 54 #s at 29 to 30 inches draw.arrows are cut to 30.5 to 31 inches.great arrow.I use 2016s out of my lighter bows and 2020s out of my heavier bows.

A 2115 is also a good choice if you like 2018s and are looking for a lighter arrow with a little more zip.They spine about 3 #s heavier than a 2018.

2018 and 2020 are the best aluminum arrows for me for hunting when i shoot aluminum with thier 5/16th size and thicker walls.

the force

Yep 125 points cut to 29" 60# curve

Yes Sir, I do.  Got 4 dozen XX75 shafts from a guy at my archery club for $10! They tuned at 29.5" with a 175 grain point from my 53@28.5 B-50 strung Savannah.  Awesome arrow!

29" 2018s w/145gr points. 60# Hill LB.

ThePushArchery

I shoot them out of my 55# Coyote, 55# RER Arroyo, and my 52# Bob Lee.

All cut to the same length with the same tip weight. Most versitile arrow in my opinion.
