I have recently returned to traditional archery. I have Red Wing Hunters and and old Bear Black Bear. The BBB is 60" and 45#. I draw 27" and have Magnus 150 gr broad heads. Currently shooting 2117 arrows because that's what I had. What would be your suggestion as to an aluminum arrow for the BBB ?

I shoot 2016s off my 45# with a 27" draw and they fly pretty good at 29.5" long. I would start longer and cut 'til I get the length right. May shoot different for your bow.

Agree totally. 2016 30" or so. Or, if you want to shoot a shorter arrow- a 2013 that is 29ish should work well. The 2013 is not a very durable shaft however. Thin walls.
