RE: New to traditional
I started with a 45# recurve, and at 30" shot 2016 aluminums. When I went to 50#, I went to 2018's. When that bow delaminated, Iwent to 55# and could shoot2018's or 2117's. Now I'm at 60# and holding and can shoot 2117's or 2216's interchangeably. Recurves are pretty forgiving about arrow spine.
