I have 400s and 500s.  I like them, and the price for bare shafts is pretty good.  The 400s are equivalent to 2117s and the 500s about like 2016s.  I have been using 400s for hunting with my Black Widow recurve.  I wish they made something equal to 1916s for my #43 bows.

They are cheap, $39.99 for a dozen shafts. I'm getting some 500s. Gonna stick 225 grains up front and go for it.

You can get Legacy , the Fall Stalker and the Camo Hunter in 1916. All made by Easton.

Yup Dave.  I have some 1916 Legacys.    I like the price of the Gamegetter shafts, though.  The Legacys sure look nicer!

I just punched my "soon to be" arrows' setup in Stu Millers spine calculator and got the exact same number for the bow input and arrow input: 48.8

I shoot the 500 out of my 47# longbows. I draw 29" and cut them to 30" and 125 up front.

Good arrows.  I shoot the 500s (2016s)

Ronp - did you try the 500s out of the #43 bow - they might work well.

No problem with them. I shot one in half the other day though, which made me slightly unhappy, but it's a result of my groupings improving so I can't complain too much. They shoot straight and true and are consistent from one arrow to the next.

I ruined a couple 400s last summer.  It's because they shoot well.

I shoot 2216 Legacy shafts which I figure are similar to Gamegetters. I like them. They are consistant compared to wood.  :thumbsup:

Get my arrows today, but my feathers and BH adapters haven't came in yet. I may just have to fletch some with some old feathers and stick a little field point up front just to get shooting.
