Easton legacy 1916

[canuck4570]

putting the pieces together
will be ordering a Toelke Whip longbow  35 pounds 64 inches
and would like your opinion on the Easton legacy 1916
don't like the glue in nock system but will be cutting it and putting uni bushing in
Your opinion would be appreciated

They should work. I'm not a unibushing fan. It limits your nock choice. But I'm a Mercury/Nirk nock type shooter.

Leave'em full length and trim to tune and have some varied point weights to help with tune.

will make a search on the mercury mirk
they fit the legacy?

[damascusdave]

Why not go with the XX 75 Camo Hunter...they come with the unibushings

love the wood texture on the legacy

[Bud B.]

Any 9/32 or 5/16 nocks fit the 1916 swaged Legacy's.

I like the straight groove of the Mercury. I do use some snap type nocks but prefer the clean release of the straight grooved kind. If you shoot three under use snap type.

The Nocking Point has all you need. But other tradgang sponsors do too.

I will say this....I have lost more 1916s to damage while stumping than any carbon. Heck, I have shot wood with better stumping results. The 1916 is a great shaft for use in a wide range of medium/lightweight bows, but, they do bend on glancing blows with stumps and sticks. I lost three arrows to damage in about three hours of stumping on day not too long ago. Even footed arrows broke just behind the footing. I still shoot them though for hunting.

I like the 1916's. I even have a 33# longbow that I shoot 1716's from with 100 gr points. It's not a hunting bow and I have yet to damage one on a 3-D target. For my stumping, I use my heavier hunting bows with carbon 3555s.  I don't think you will have any problems with the 1916's.

[Red Beastmaster]

Without knowing the rest of the details, 1916 sounds stiff for a 35# bow.

I use Legacy 1916 from my Thunderhorn longbow (47# @ 27") and my Brackenbury recurve (45# @ 27").

I shoot target and hunt with 1916's with great results. No sense destroying them on stumps if they can't handle it. I shoot stumps with oak dowels.

I tried them on the 3 rivers dynamic spine calculator and the are perfect….
may be I punch the wrong data will check again

this with a 125gr tip

[paoliguy]

My son shoots a 35# longbow with 29" long Easton XX75 1816's with 100 grain points. Works well for him.

[canuck4570]

will take a look
thanks….

I like them and like the woodgrain of the Legacy's.They have the correct spine and enough physical weight for some of my bows that I shoot them with.I had thought about going to uni-bushing's on my Legacy's.The have a set of 1916 Camo Hunter's with X-bushings.Because they are smaller then 20XX in diameter they use a X-bushing which will use a X-nock.The same nock as Easton Axis/MFX.I kept mine with the swaged nock end because I found some NOS Bjorn 9/32 nocks on the big auction site.They have the nock fit I'm looking for with my strings.I like aluminum arrows for my Hill bows more then a carbon arrow.

[canuck4570]

aluminium I like
no lubing them on 3d target and easy to pull out in tentest board target and worst that dam testiest always stick to the carbon shat and you have to scrape it of with a knife

[Altiman94]

They shot well out of every 45-50 lb bow I've ever had but I couldn't get the weight up to where I like my arrows so I'm using carbon now.

A full length shaft with 3 feathers and a 125gr head would only get up to around 440g and I wanted to be 525gr+.

Aside from that, they were good arrows (no complaints here).

[canuck4570]

good for hunting
I will use mine for 3d and shooting for the pleasure
