OK, on another post I asked about X7 for 40# barebow...
What about 2016 instead? And would brass inserts help?
I'm totally new to indoor.

2016 will work as good as any other shaft. Are you planning to shoot 3 under point on or stringwalking? If touching the nock trying to get point on its a simple matter of weight and length to achieve the trajectory you need while maintaining good tune. Whichever shafts meet that criteria are fine.

Tuning 2016's at 40 pounds is going to be tough. 2013's might be easier.

Why would 2016 be harder to tune than 2013

Full length 2016 out of an ILF rig at 40# is a simple tune.

2016 is .531 spine, 2013 is a .610 (lighter) spine and I agree would work better with your 40# bow.

I understand PECO's point about spine...but wouldn't heavier point weight (more FOC) make the more durable 2016 (vs 2013) a good bet?
My 3D arrows rely on brass inserts (more FOC, more durable)...is that logic irrelevant at 20yds indoors?

Are you trying to get heavy arrows to get point on at 20 or are you planning on gap or stringwalking? If trying to get point on while touching the nock, 2016 are a better bet. It does depend on a number of things though. How high your anchor is, length of your face etc. I'll reiterate, point on is dependent on arrow weight and length mostly. You can manipulate some with nocking point height and fletch size but IMO that's sort of a microtune thing. You need to start with a spine, weight and length that will get you tuned and close to point on.

Thanks for the insights. I guess I will start wrong and evolve to less wrong.

jk, a long 2016 with a heavier point will work if you are looking to get closer to a point-blank. You can tune it to work even shorter depending on the bow/string, etc. I can shoot 29" 2016 with 145 tips from my 43# Browning Wasp. I would think though that you would be better off with a 1916 at 30" length, or if shorter, even an 1816 with 100 grain tips. With some work, you can get any of them to fly well.
