Title: anybody here ever hunt with 1918 shafts ?
Post by: Bow50 on February 25, 2007, 04:38:00 PM
I have some somewhat hard to find 1918 shafts that shoot well from my 54-56# pound bows. I like these arrows but I wondered of anybody here has used them for hunting deer ? The ones I have finished are about 9 gpi and weight about 515 grains total weight.

                       Thanks in advance

Not made anymore. Wish I could find some. They are around 60 spine, and 2016s have taken their place.
I hunt with 1920s, and was lucky enough to lay in a lifetime supply of them.
They make a 575 gr.(at my draw) 65 spine arrow.

I was able to acquire several dozen of the old Autumn orange in 1918 recently. Looking forward to using them. They should be nearly as durable as my 2020's. CKruse
