| WANTED - lightweight arrows For over 6 months I have been trying to locate 2 shafts of each of the following, at least 26 inches long:-
ACE 1000 148 grains
X10 1000 137 "
ACC 3.00 142.5 "
Navigator 1000 133.5 "
Cartel Triple 1100 ?
Carbon Tech 180 ? only know they are 4.57 mm (188s are 4.78mm)
I intend to continue using Easton 1214 45 grain piles and then reduce the weight to 25 grains by cutting off some insert and filing them down. This will stiffen up the shafts and move back the centre of balance. I have yet to do this on the ACE 780s shot out of the Afterburner set at 55lbs with a 12 strand string, but already there is no whip as they come off the bow. At a 42/45 degree angle 10 or 15 seconds more in flight should get them to about 750 yards - only time and practise will tell LOL
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE someone help me! Until I find the best of the above shafts I don't want to fork out megabucks buying a dozen ACEs or X10s.
