Anyone ever tried these?
« on: April 06, 2008, 10:20:00 PM »
Has anyone fletched these shafts?

I need to get some more arrows made up for the Sun Lakes shoot in Moses Lake, WA.  If you don't know, its pretty much an arrow grave yard.  NO trees No Shrubs, NO grass.  Nothing but rock and dirt -- so a missed shot usually means a broken arrow.  

So how do these work for you, I need to get some cheap shafts and get them worked in quick!  Its only two weeks away!!!

I will be heading over to the Moses Lake shoot as well.  Hope to see you there.

Those shafts look VERY similar to the Beman ICS Hunters.  They are probably made by Beman for Cabelas if I were guessing.  The .400's are 8.4gr/inch, and the .340's are 9.3 gr/inch.  I shoot the .400's out of my 53# recurves, but I leave them long and use the 100gr brass inserts in them.  Hope this helps.

IMO the Bemans are great shafts and can be found online for about $59-62 per dozen.

Thanks Brett, I was thinking that too, they look similar to the older Beeman Ventures that I have been using.  I also leave them uncut and use a 100gr brass insert.  My Howatt Hunter is #55 but measured at my draw length of 31.5 inches it comes in at #69-70, so I am thinking of going with the 340's.

See ya there
