Aluminum arrows

[Night Wing]

Autumn Orange has been discontinued by Easton for quite some time now.

I think you need to look at 3 Rivers again.Look under Special aluminum inserts.They have everything from 1916 on up.

I know it, I was complaining about that recently. I wish they would bring them back.

Easton has also discontinued the camo on their old Super Slam aluminum shafts in favor of their new "digital" camo and I dislike the digital camo. This is why for my 2213s, I purchase their Camo Hunter shafts now.

I'm likin the Camo hunters. Would prefer Legacy's but they don't have the size I want. The Game Getters would have been good but I don't like the idea of a composite UNI bushing, or even a UNI bushing at all.

[Spectre]

I haven't tried any of those camo hunters yet. I might hafta give them a whirl.

 BTW, Night Wing, I wonder if you know an old friend of mine from Magnolia, years ago I was in the Navy with a gent from there......check your PM

I have had good luck with Aluminum in general, and have a lifetime supply of 1918 Autumn Orange shafts that I found not that long ago.

They the 1918's are some tough shafts. Now to find some 1920's.

Dang, Doug. Why you gotta do that to a guy?

[K. Mogensen]

Few more questions comin your way. Calculator says that for my setup, I can use 2020's or 2115's, or 2216's with a 100 gr. insert. Is there a perticuler one that would be better? I'm likin the 2216's cause they're heavier and have more FOC. Or the 2020's cause I can get them in Legacy's. Haven't even seen a 2115.

[Night Wing]

Easton discontinued the 2115 size. That is why I had to add an inch to the length of my arrows, from 31" to 32" and now shoot 2213s out of my 42# recurve.

[JimB]

K. Mogensen,I would lean toward the 2020.It has the thickest tubing wall and narrower outside diameter.It should be tougher and the narrow shaft should penetrate better.

I started out doing archery with some 31" Easton XX75 Blues arrows, 1916.
I am using a 70" recurve bow with 28lb limbs.
I overdraw the limbs to 34lb draw weight.
I setup the button and tuned the plunger so at 20 yards the unfletched arrows were hitting the target at the same place as the fletched ones.
Everything was good!
A few months on I decided that I would like to try a clicker.
My arrows are way too long so I shorten them by 42mm.
I then have to retune the plunger.
I had to fit the weakest plunger spring and have it on minimum tension to get the unfletched arrows to hit the target at the same place as the fletched ones.

However, it seemed ok.

I then had to shorten the arrows by another 8mm to get the clicker blade vertical on the riser.

The arrows are now fractionally less than 29" long.

If I now shoot any unfletched arrows they go off to the left and miss the target completely.

I have no more plunger adjustment left.

By shortening the arrows I have effectively increased the spine strength, right?

The weird thing is though if I look on the Easton arrow chart

arrow length 28.5 - 29.5 "
Bow weight 30-35 lbs
Arrow group T5
My 1916 arrows appear in group T5


Am I missing something here?

I like the shaft selection chart in the 3 Rivers catalog. It seems spot on for most of my bows and allows for different point weights.

[Hermon]

I would think that 1916's would be way too stiff for that set up without a lot of point weight.  JMHO

[rcflyers]

Thanks guys,

Pardon my inexperience, but what spine arrows should I be looking at for my current bow or what limbs should I be looking at getting for my current arrows?

[Hermon]

It would definitely be cheaper to get different arrows than new limbs.  Without knowing how much point weight you are shooting or wanting to shoot, I would guess either a 1716 or 1816 in aluminum.

Maybe a 800-900 spine in carbon.

[rcflyers]

Thanks, I was thinking about upgrading my limbs anyway to 32lb giving me a draw weight approaching 40lb.

[rcflyers]

I weighed my arrow points today and they weigh in at 83 grains.

This is much less than listed on the charts.
