Depends on what point weight you want to shoot and how the shelf is cut on the bow and the type of string you're shooting. I have a longbow that has a shelf cut to center, w/ 125gr points, and has a FF string. It is 55#@28" and my draw length is 28". It does well with 2018's cut to 29" bop. This was when I shot some aluminums...all Surewood douglas fir now!

I have a few 2018s I will shoot tomorrow,i have learned I destroy wood arrows to quick,but I would like to use wood to hunt with.

Don't shoot at stuff that breaks arrows! ;) I think ten pounds is too big a spread to expect to cover it with one arrow.... and have them both fly decently.

2017 cut to 30" with 125 up front,maybe 150 upfront should be close,,2017 is a rugged arrow.

2X what SB stated as far as the spread in bow poundage and using one spine of shaft. My example was for the 55# bow.

If your LB is cut shy of center then under spined arrows will work best.
