What dimension are you referring to?
Length? Spine?
I shoot a 45# @ 28" recurve with D97 string and use 29" (shaft) Easton xx75 2114 superlites with 125 grain tips with good success.
I was a little overspined to begin with with the 100 grain heads, but the 125s evened it out nicely.
I think anything from 1916 with 100 grns or 2013/2100 range with heavier tips will work.
See if you can go to a range and test a few out, your outfitter might have some different weights available for you to try before you decide what to use.
