Just needing help finding some good arrows for my new black widow PL its 51#@ 27 thats my draw. With a good FOC . I dont have a bow shop around to pick and choose arrows have to order everything. Something like 550-600 grain setup . I'll shot aluminum or carbons, I really like aluminum. Thanks all

1916's cut to 28" with 125 up front. 2016's same length with 140 grain Zwickey Eskimos...

think a 2117 with a 175 grain point would work

thats what I use on mine 50#@26"

can match weight with a long aluminum adaptor and a 125/135 grain broadhead or glue on judo or 175 grain screw in Hex blunt ot 175 grain VPA =good rigg for me perty versital

.500 spine cut to 29"s with at least 225 up front will get you darn close may need a tad more up front.. Ideally a .550 spine cut to 28"s and 175-200 would be great. I am looking into some .550 spine carbons now, not a lot out there but some. Shawn

Too many unidentified variables to give you a definitive answer.

Examples, "with a good FOC" what is that to you? How long do you want your arrows? What do you have on the sight window?

I would go with Pdiddly. 29" 2016 with 145-165 gr tip. I have the same setup 52@27 and this is what I shoot. the 2117 will work with a lot up front I had to use 200gr. but it seamed like the arrow put on the brakes after 20 yards so I went with the 2016.

600s with a 150 not much more info needed for me could go with up to 200s if you want that's with carbons. With aluminum shafts for me I would try a 2016 that would be playing it safe I have hardly any issues get them to fly good out of just about any trad bow.

2018 at 29" and 200 up front would or should work and give you your 600 gr. I think with carbon you are going to half to really add weight to get 550-600 gr. the 2016s suggested should fall somewhere around 530-540 gr. good luck and order some test kits 3-river or black widow has them.

My recommendation is biased by my strong preference for a flatter shooting and faster shaft rather than a stiff shaft with a heavy head.

Out of respect to the OP's request I think the 2016 would be a good fit, albeit still lighter than the total weight requested.

I agree with bigdog21 that the 2117 with 200 up front would be fine at short range but drop like a stone after.

The OP has close to the same draw as me so I am familiar with the territory.

Another possibility is a 28" 2114 with a 145 grain head. I have a Sanders Sportster that's 52# @ 27" and it likes that combo.

No opinion on carbons as I have never used them.
