Fleetwood arrows
« on: September 03, 2009, 01:16:00 PM »
Can any one tell me a little about Fleetwood arrow shafts.

When were they in use? What were they made of? Are they any good now.

Reason I'm asking is, I got 4 with Bear Greenies on them. They came with a "minty"  :bigsmyl:  tape on which I plan on installing on my '59 Grizzly.

Oh yeah, they fly OUTSTANDING out of the Griz.


Would these have been in use in '59?

Kenny

I had a set of Fleetwoods in the early '60's...like '63 or '64.

Mine were black shafts and as I remember, they flew great out of my 50# bows.  I think they were cheaper than Microflite.

They were definitely fiberglass.  They were my first "non-wood" arrows.

Just tryin' to stroke my memory.  Was it you that got my Bear Microflite # 8's?  I think it was.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

Thanks for the info Jack.

Wasn't me that got the Microflites.

These Fleetwoods are a dark redish/burgandy color.

Fleetwood Archery products were distributed from Superior WI. this doesn't mean they actually made the arrows though.
