Favorite aluminum shaft?

For the last couple years I've been shooting 2018s from 50ish lb bows with reasonable success. My arrows weigh about 630 grains. My only complaint is they are almost too heavy for my liking and I get a lot of drop past 20 yards. I've considered trying a 2213 or possibly a 2114 instead. Back when I shot heavy bows I used 2219 and loved them but I don't plan on going back to the heavy weights anytime soon.

Was wondering what shafts everyone preferred for 50-55lb bows. I shoot 200 grain snuffers up front.

Try the 2016. Its a little lighter but still plenty of weight to hunt with.

I'm an oddball, I have always preferred 22xx arrows to 20xx. 2213 is a great arrow for 50-55lb recurves. I killed several deer and a black bear with 2213s. They do bend easier due to the thin wall, but for hunting who cares? I always ended up with a 530-530 grain arrow with 2213s and Snuffers.

Another vote for the 2213.  I have some shafts, but not tried yet...My 2016's are too weak with my 40# recurve and 45# longbow.  If I get below 200 total point/insert I move up.  My vintage 80's Darton compound that I shoot fingers with a Berger/stick on rest absolutely love the 2016's; goes to show how much more efficient a good trad bow is.

I'm using a 2016 with a 200 gr point out of my 45# longbows with great success.
