Really like these Black Eagle shafts!

I use big jim's hot melt. The stuff is low temp and really holds. Swapped inserts a dozen times on my test arrow just this morning.
Actually, I think all carbon shafts say don't use hot melt.

I will have to check on that one. You must have a lot of weight up front. I use 350 spine from my mid 70# longbows. [/b]

That's interesting you say that. I'm moving up in draw weight and the spine calculators are suggesting that amount of stiffness, seemed pretty stiff to me though. I'm looking at putting about 350gr up front for a 10gr/lb arrow. Do you think I could drop down in spine? Bow is a static limb recurve and should be about 72#@27".

Matabele,
You can probably make either spine fly. One might use a lot more point weight than the other.  If you try a .300 your finished arrow will bee 700 gr +.  Are you hunting african game?
My bow is 63#@31" After today's testing and finally having some daylight to shoot in... I added a little weight. Mine are near 700 grains for best flight.

I would like to try the Renegade in .350. Also  might order the Rampage shaft in .300 which is pretty must the same thing but lighter GPI. For deer a 630 gr shaft would be heavy enough.

I'm shooting .300 Outlaws with my 85# Northern Mist longbow. I don't think I'd want to draw a bow requiring .200 spine.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm going to get a couple of weaker spine shafts and give it a try.

Edit: Just seen your question Tedd, but yep African game is a definite possibility in the future. Just looking for a heavy all rounder I can count on for everything. Those Vintage shafts look slick too!

I have my 350s cut to 31" with 450 up front and shoot them from two of my 73# longbows. I am however using 2" of footing so that makes them behave more like a 29" shaft.

Thanks for the info! Have sent you a PM.

I got the Rampage shafts . .300  8.7 dpi. With 350 grains up front my finished arrow weighs 655 gr.

I absolutely love the Deep Impacts by Black Eagle! They are tough and being micro diameter, get closer to center on the riser. Very thick walls on these guys. They have survived hits that would buckle my axis.

Nice looking shaft.....but I prefer not sending money overseas if possible.

So, don't support the US Based company Black Eagle Arrows, or the thousands of US based dealers or the handful of traditional archery dealers that carry these shafts? Yea...that makes a lot of sense.

[Bob Morrison]

love the X impacts.300 gr. BH equal a 520 gr. arrow..US made is a big plus....
