1918's
« on: September 27, 2007, 05:45:00 PM »
I just picked up a 1/2 dozen fletched old green easton 1918's and 1916's that were sitting up on a shelf in a old sporting goods store down the road.  I guess no body around here shoots aluminum anymore.  They still have a few autumn orange and some green 1916's available.  Anyone know the weight/inch of the 1918's?

They are heavy a 29.5 in. arrow w/160 gr. head weighs in the mid to high 500 gr. range if I remember right, Ive got 2 doz. of the Autumn orange 1918`s and have only got one bow out of 13 that will shoot them w/any weight head.

Thanks Dean.  I've been wanting something similar to a 2016, but a bit weaker and heavier.  I'm not sure if these are, but they shoot great out of my 51# longbow.

This is a great little arrow that has become my favorite arrow since I have dropped down in weight from the 55-60# range to the 48-52 range.  Unfortunately, it has been discontinued.  Fortunately, we have sites like this where we can still find them.  Just in the last couple weeks, I have picked up 3 more dozen of the autumn orange shafts.  

My setup with a 125 magnus stinger gives me a 490 gr. arrow.

2018 spines 67lbs and 2016 right at 60. 60lbs was too weak?!?
Is it too late to be what I could have been?
