Arrow identification help
« on: January 07, 2011, 04:30:00 PM »
Gents,
I have run across an old hardwear store that is closing up. The owner has a number of boxes of arrows that are labeled as follows...Tru-Flite Graphlex XT 17.8, and some boxes have 17.6. These are fiberglass arrows. Any help identifying what weight bow these are for would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

According to some old charts I have, 17.6 equals a spine deflection of .400, 65#; 17.8 are .350, about 72#.

Thanks Orion. Are the charts you have generic charts, or were they manufacturer specific?

Pretty sure they're manufacturer's charts.  I got them off of the archeryarchives.com web site.  Lots of other fiberglass arrow charts there as well.

I believe the Graphlex were early carbon shafts... graphite.
