Use feather fletchings not plastic. There are factors to consider (arrow length and point weight) that are covered in the link to determine what arrows you need. Unless you use heavier points or arrows longer than 30" a carbon arrow in 400 spine or an aluminum 2117 will probably work for your 50# bow. You get 50# at a 28" draw. Most people do not draw the full 28" on a trad bow. If your arrows shoot left it is a good indication they they are over-spined and if they shoot right, under-spined.
Another consideration is that your aluminum arrows were likely set up for cock feather up and the glue on nocks will have to be true 90 deg to work with a trad bow.
