Can Anyone Tell Me Why...............

...... I Love 2016's So Much? Went the carbon and wood route. Still have lots of 'em but just dig them aluminum shafts. I know they bend easy. I know they break easy. Guess love is a funny thing... So I'll ask you, is it just me?

Because they fly well out of so many bows?

[ishiwannabe]

No idea Mikey, except that you make em so pretty, shoot them so well, and get perfect flight. I am recalling the one on the walll at your cabin.
Miss ya buddy. See you soon.

I love them too.  And 2213s.

Aluminum arrows are so easy to tune and they fly great. As an example, I'll use my 42# recurve.

Since I have a 30" draw length, I shoot 32" BOP length arrows. They're never shorter or longer. Just a constant 32" cut length.

If I want to shoot a 2114, 2212, 2213, 2215 or 2117 arrow, I just pick the correct point weight for all of these differently spined arrows and fine tune by raising or lowering the brace height. This allows me to shoot a light arrow, a moderately heavy arrow, a heavy arrow or a very heavy arrow.

Right now, I'm on a light arrow "mission" with a 2212.

Although I dont prefer an aluminum Shaft they do have their benefits.

I just like to break woodies on your fox target!

Miss ya too. Hope all is well.

I agree that aluminums are very versatile.  There is too much tinkering involved with carbons and wood which takes away from valuable shooting time.  :rolleyes:  

My favorites also include the 2016 as well as the 2018, 1916, 2114 and the now extinct 1918.

My carbons and woodies are just gathering dust.

My 3 choices in order of preference, aluminum,aluminum,aluminum!

Although I have my one Dz AD Trad Lites, 90% of my arrows are 2117's. Aluminum is very consistant in weight and spine and easy to work with when crown dipping (except for the finish on Super Slams).

Also a very universal arrow, can be shot from various bow weights and lengths. Wish they would bring back the original Dougherty Naturals....I only have a few left!

I showed up at Muzzy last year with a few Alum 2216's and guys said are you crazy. At the end of the weekend I still had them intact and straight. One I lost twice and it was in the lost arrow tub both times. Just good all around arrows. I like 2117's also, they shoot well from my recurves, and even a few of my longbows!

Thank You Every One!    I miss the gang too...
