For a 40lb recurve, I would use 1816 or 1916 aluminum with 150gr tip.

As for setting nock point, you can bare shaft tune to locate correct nock point. Usually for 3 under if the bow is tillered for split, you would set to 1/2" over center. For a bow tillered for 3 under about 1/4" or more over center.
