Need info for vintage 2117 Camo Hunters
« on: January 22, 2010, 09:45:00 AM »
I recently bought a lot of 15 Easton 2117 camo hunters. They have a different camo pattern than the new ones and have the glue on nocks.

Nine of them had broadheads glued on them. I assumed they were on a removable adapter. I quickly learned that the adapters were part of the shaft.

Does anyone else own arrows like these or have any information before I email Easton?

I want to figure out how many grams the ends are.

You more than likely have swaged point ends, they where very common at one time.

Yep...that is exactly what I meant. Thanks!

Any idea what they may weigh?

I've got an email in to Easton right now.

They don't weigh anything?  8^).  They are part of the shaft that has been shaped to a taper by swageing, either spin swage or form swage.

Easton didn't do the swaging.Swaged arrows I have,have a 7/8" taper.I don't know how much shaft length it takes to swage a taper that long.Probably a lot less than 7/8".They should be about 12 grs per inch so the taper may be half that.About as light a front end as you can get.
