Probably 1916s or 2016s depending on length and tip weight.

Those bows are really quick btw.

Not close center since it's a dual shelf bow. Try a 28" 1916 with 125/145 tip. You can also try carbon but with that setup you'll will be close to a 700 spine for a 125/145 tip and not near the mass weight. If you don't mind longer arrows you can have more spine opportunities like the 2016 at closer to 29 or 30 inches with the aforementioned tip weights. Assuming that you're using Dacron and not low stretch.

I've got a '55 Kodiak that's 59#, and the 2016's I've got for my other bows, cut to 29" and using 145 grain tips, still seem on the stiff side if anything. So I'd recommend going towards the weaker spine range with as far from center as these risers are.

I have a 1955 that is 65#. I agree with Aaron that the spine needs to be softer due to the shelf being off centre.

Mine likes gt trad 600, cut to 28" with 125 up front. I forget what my arriws weigh. But the 56 seems to like heavy, softer spined carbons.
