will any of these arrows work?
« on: August 02, 2012, 12:04:00 AM »
well i was at a pawn shop in the am and noticed that they had some alumium shafting in the back. they were dirt cheap so i picked them up. now i need to know if any of them will work for my bows or ill just have to use them as flu-flus. all my bows are between 45-55lbs and i draw 30". i got a dozen in 2016, 6 in 2219, and 6 in 2216. these are all they had and were for the price worth taking a chance on. i realize now that they are not all the same model, some are the camo hunters, game getter II and some are just marked easton 2016. they are all swayged (spelling) nocks. sorry for the long post but i just was unsure of there value. would sny of these work or should i just sell them?

The 2016s might work on 45 and 50 pound bows depending on whether you recurves, longbows, fastflight strings or dacron strings.  You might be able to use the 2216s and 2219s on your heavier draw-weight bow(s) if you load them up front with heavier points, but again, it depends on your bows and how they are set up.  If you have arrows that really match your bows, you may want to sell them and buy more arrows that match what you are already shooting.

If those are full-length shafts (and they better be if you're drawing 30") you can make any of them work. Once you start cutting them back in length, the 2219's will stiffen up quickly, but I shoot 2219's at 30.75" out of my 50# recurve with 190gr 3-blades and just a standard insert.

Just keep adding point weight until they stop flying STIFF

I would think the 2016 would work with the 2219 and 2216's being way too stiff.
