I was rooting around in some arrow boxes down in the cave the other night, sorting through some shafts to see if I could put together some arrows.
I ran across a half dozen old arrows I have no clue where I got them from. Anyway, they caught my eye because they are full length shafts, smaller than 5/16", I'm guessing 9/32 ?
Interestingly enough, I put one on my scale, and it was pretty heavy at 540 gr, and the wood is real hard. Its not a laminated shaft, so I was wondering if anyone might have an idea what type of wood they are. The bare wood appears to be a very light color.
They are spined at 47-50#, and I shortened one up to 28" and it shoots good off both my longbows, and serious penetration due to the weight and small diameter. I kind of like them, I'm going to try to refletch them, and get some proper sized points for them.
I'd like to get some more shafts like these if I can, I like the small diameter in a heavy arrow.
