Help! I need some light wood arrrows quickly!

[Wayne Meuir]

Glenn Bryant talked me into going to McAlister and I need some light woodies for my Selfbow.

I have some shafts ordered from Hildebrand, but they probably won't get here in time for me to get them made up.

I need 40-45 spine and as close to 400 grains as possible. 5/16" diameter would be better, but if they are light enough, I don't care what dia. they are.
They have to be at least 29" to BOP.

Anyone have any that are close to that spec. they would be willing to sell?

I've got 6 that I shot from my selfbow last week in Clifton. They are all 41# spine 11/32 tapered to 5/16 and full length with 125g points on them right now.

I also have some 5/16 tapered to 9/32 but they are cut 28" bop.

Here is a picture of the 6 I have, let me know if you want to use them.

Derek, what do they weigh? If they are light enough, I would love to buy them. The arrows I have right now are just too heavy anbd it makes long shots almost impossible.

The 28" ones are a little short for my draw length.

Thanks,

Wayne, I can only guess on their weight as I dropped and broke my scale and my replacement hasn't arrived yet. I might be able to weight them with an old, balance style scale I have this evening. My bow is 42# +/- at my 27" draw and it throws these pretty good, just not as good as the smaller ones. I'll measure the smaller diameter ones to make sure they are 28 bop. When do you need them?

[Wayne Meuir]

Derek, the shoot is August 4-5, week-end after next, so I need them pretty quickly in order to shoot them a little beforehand.

Thanks,

Wayne

Ok, I'll get them cut off to save some weight. What point weight do you shoot? I can get them out priority tomorrow and you would have them no later than Tuesday. If the smaller diameter ones are 29" or longer I'll send them along as well. I know they are in the right weight range for you.

Answered, I'll have you some sticks in the mail today. Hope they do you well at the shoot.

[Wayne Meuir]

I hope I shoot well at the shoot, but from what I have heard about this shoot, I hope I still have at least some of these arrows left when its over
