I have been shooting Micro-Flite arrows since the 60's and I love them! They are getting very hard to find. Looking for size 5's anything over 27" long. These are great arrows for people like me that are fighting with Target Panic. They stand up well under hard misses :mad:

Mike, can you share the spine numbering system with us, I've come across them on the classifieds and the auction site but never knew what they spined. I've heard similar testimonials to yours and I wouldn't mind trying them out myself.

The only ones I have left are broken ones hanging up in the deer antlers in the basement. I do have 2 DuraFlight 8s left intact which I shoot in the backyard.

About the only thing that will damage a microflite is side slapping a tree, or hard surface.

That is when the point just slightly hits the side of a tree and glances off. In doing so, the side of the shaft "slaps" the side of the dree very hard. This will break the shaft. Yhis type of shot may bend an alluminum shaft but if it doesn;t dent it, it can be straightened.

Fiberglass arrows are tough and can last a ong time if you can keep them away from side slappin'.

Microflites are good shafts. If they are straight they seem to stay straight until broken. Last year I gave a friend several dozen 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9s. Thought I kept one of each, but did not see a 6 in the box. If you need heavier spine shaft than shown on the chart, some smaller sizes fit inside some larger sizes, a 4 fits in a 10, etc.

The 12s are like logs. My Dad shot them for years using 75#. Tremendous arrow out of a heavy bow.

Ya also need a "0"

Jack -

Sometime in the 1960s, I also remember hearing something about Special Order Mircoflites 13 and 14, but don't recall ever seeing one. Not sure they were made, may have just been talk to see if there was enough interest to make them.

Have you ever seen a 13 or 14?

Guess this would be the Zero, "0"...

Don't recall seeing it on a Microflite chart...

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #17 on:** July 18, 2009, 08:16:00 AM »

Checked another box marked Microflite, and found 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10s... so added the 6 and replaced a some others with clearer markings, then retook yesterdays 1-12 photograph that was missing the 6...

Hey Wade...

Someday you'll have to write a paragraph about the things you DON'T have!!

Ron - You are too funny, a paragraph.

Hey it would take writing a set of encyclopedias to document all the things that I don't have.

One thing I don't have anymore is an extra Bear Knife, File and Stone set that you told me last week that you are looking for. I traded my last extra off last month at Compton. There were several other sets at Compton too, all seemed to be priced at $450, but don't know if any of them sold. I felt kind of guilty placing half that amount on mine for a trade value for a metal horn nock.

If you want the phone numbers of the guys with those Knife, File and Stone sets, I'd be happy to give them to you.
