??? about aluminum arrows

[pintail_drake2004]

hey yall, i was wondering, how do you read the weight of these arrows. Typically i have picked my arrows by the camp patterns and the fletch colors. I usually had them cut down anyway for my short draw length. I shoot Easton 2219's but i dont know how much they weigh. Could someone please help my understand what those numbers mean and how much they weigh?
Thanks

As you can plainly see by my handle....."woodchucker" I am not an aluminium arrow "Guru".....

However,If you tell us your bow weight and your draw length I'm possitive someone here will be able to recommend the perfect size arrow for you as well as answer any questions you may have about such arrows.

well at the moment i will be shooting carbons for my trad bow. and make a few arras later. The bow will be approx 65# at 26" ...

I never figured out how to read the numbers on the arrows. I dont know how yall ever figured it out to get your wood arrows just right.

Thanks for the help

The first two numbers are the shaft size in diameter. The next two numbers are shaft wall thickness. your weight will depend on arrow length.

2219 the diameter of the shaft is.22 and the thickness of the wall is .19 thick. As far as weight, if ya mean how much does the shaft weigh, go to Easton and check out there chatrs, if you are talking spine, well they spine well over 85#s and if ya spine them using 13" centers as ya do for wood arrows they are close to 100, I believe.  If ya want to shoot carbon out of your bow I could get ya close but I need to know what type of bow, LB or curve is it cut past center and the #age at your draw.

Not quite guys.

The "22" is the number of 64ths of an inch of the outside diameter.  As in 22/64's of an inch in diameter.  The "19" part ya got right.  It's the wall thickness in thousands of an inch.

Easton Legacy shafts 2219 are 13.8 grains per inch. You didn't tell us how long your arrows are, what your points weigh, the size and how many feathers you use so it is a bit hard to say how much your arrows weigh. With all that info it shouldn't be too hard to just do the math. This link should help for aluminums-    arrow weight calculator

Otto nailed it. Those shafts spine at 95#.
