wood grain blems at BigJims and Gold Tip News

Ok, first things first. We just got in a pallet of blems...several different patterns including lots of woodgrain. We also received black and white nuge and pink and white nuge. We still have camo shafts too, and received some really cool skullworks shafts. All sizes in wood grain, and several different sizes in the other patterns. A great deal to go with our free shipping special.
GOLD TIP NEWS!!: If you are currently shooting the Gold tip 7595s (300 spine), there are going to be changes.

All gold tip 7595's with a wrap or pattern on them have been .300 spine and the black shafts were .340 spine. As of the first of the year, all new shafts are supposed to be marked with the actual spine numbers, ie. 600, 500, 400, and 340 wood grain. Yes, you read that right, the shaft formerly known as 7595 will no longer be available in a .300 for the wood grain. The stiffest woodgrain will now be a 340 spine. The 7595 or .300 spine in the other patterns won't change so if you need the stiffer spine you will still be able to get it just not in wood grain.

I am happy about this even though I shoot the .300 spine, but they just weren't big sellers and I think the 340's will go a long way. Unfortunately they are not available yet. Thanks, bigjim

60 dz shafts in each box and there were 22 boxes ...I think..ah, who's counting.

Well, I tried to post the picture...just not enough smarts to do it. I sent a picture to my buddy Manny though and he knows his way around posting a picture.

Holy crow!   :eek:

[Stixbowdrew]

Wow! Hey Jim do you have the skull works shafts posted to the site yet?

[Frenchymanny]

I can see the picture already  

[BigJim]

Thanks anyway many. I'm sure you would have come through for me had Florida lime not already done so.

The skullworks and some of the pink shafts apparently did not get posted on our site yet. We have had some internet difficulties at the office. They should be on the site tomorrow. We have the skullworks in 5575 and just a few in the 7595's.
thanks, bigjim

Big Jim, Will the gpi of the 340 wood grains being going down also?
thanks, Joe D

[BigJim]

JDunlap...I can only speculate on that as I haven't seen the specs. I've only been privy to the initial info. I have been suggesting both the 340 change and the change of the name from there original confusing name to the spine name for years.
They seem to be listening or at least watching. After coming up with the 600 spine arrow, they improved the 3555/500 spine arrow by making it 32"s...but that is all old news.
thanks, bigjim

yippee, ive been waiting for blems.  3 dz 3355 ordered.  
 i feel like a kid at christmas.  thanks jim

[BigJim]

Heck, I feel like a kid at Christmas too! I have sold a tremendous amount of shafs/arrows this year ...for that, I have to give a big thanks to the tradgang members and their word of mouth. However, I have received a relative few of those in wood grain.
This time, the spine sizes are fairly evenly distributed. I wouldn't wait too long though as we sold over a 100dz last night.
Thanks, BIgjim

Well, those 340s should work well for next year! I shot the 300s for years out of a 70 pound set up but now that I've dropped to 60 pounds the 340s are perfect

[longbowman]

This is a cool thread to read.  I've made and shot wood arrows for so many years I have no idea what any of you are talking about!  It just sounds good.

[BigJim]

You know, it is not that tough, but it is different. With wood and aluminum, you shaft choices that can be fairly specific. There is one for every 5lbs for wood and maybe even more than that for aluminum.
For carbon however, any one model will seldom have more than 4.. With those four spine groups and cutting (if necessary) to tune...and then fine tuning with tip weight, we can get one to work for most everybody.
Yes, it can take some big points or weighted inserts to get them to weight, but that is an advantage we have in being able to put that weight up front. Front weight adds better flight characteristics.
Just a different game is all.
thanks ,bigjim

[BigJim]

Whew, what a day! All good though. I think I'm going to have to go pig hunting tomorrow to get a breather. Someone's got to do it. Them durn things are taking over the place!

Got the specs on the skullworks, but I'm having a hard time believing them so I will confirm tomorrow.
Oh and they said I was getting a couple hundred doz more blems...mostly woodgrain, but the pink nugents are on the way too. I thought I had already gotten them but again I was confused.      
thanks, bigjim

[pdk25]

Pig hunting is always a good idea, Jim. Take em out.

[BigJim]

Yeah pdk25, I've been thinking about it all week. My son and I are going this afternoon and then hunt in to the dark. Got some blems that need to find their way through a few piggies.
Bow lights are awesome, but they still seem to out think me...at times.
We will spend the night at camp and hunt the morning followed by some stand tweaking and adding.
