Yea, I'm with the others on the spine issue. Remember with compound some believe that it is better to be overspined then under. Not the same with trad. To tell you the truth, I don't own a bow that shoots 2117's very well. Even my 67# recurve shoots 2020's. Most of my bows in the 55# range like 2018's.

Congrats with the new bow though. Oh, and since you are just starting out, I wouldn't be too afraid to shoot the arrows that you mentioned while working on form. Make sure though that they have a decent sized fleth on them, and don't shoot bareshafts (they maybe too unstable). They just will not be optimal for the bow. You make end up wearing the the riser also from the arrow making contact.
