The four brown arrows are micro flites. if anyone knows more about them please chime in.
I really bought them for the bear razor heads
The blue ones go with the label on the box

did a little research, the micro flites are #6 at 28.5" BOP and from the charts I've seen that would = a 35-40# bow at 28". give or take
currently i'm shooting 50# on most of my bows, mainly a bear super grizzly
The true flights are 30.5" BOP and hopefully spine closer to my weight. i would really like to give them a fling.
The box label states _0-60#(assume 50-60#) but also shows at 28".
once it stops snowing here i'll get out and enjoy some history.

Durp, I'm sure I'll never use the micro flites. More of a collector's item.
If you really want them shoot me a pm.

I hunted with micro-flite 9's this past season. Very tough arrow. Flew great out of my 48@28 Bear TD "B" riser and #3 Big Foot limbs making a 64" bow. The Micro-flites were often used by Fred Bear.

I have a 46# howatt sharpshooter 20 , thats the lightest bow I have.
I might be able to shoot them from that. being a Michigan native, I have an affinity for bear anything.
It's been fun researching the micro flites .
The true flight arrows sport a MA3L broadhead. Apparently made by the make all tool company.

Way cool find! Were the books part of the find? Which Ishi book is that?

Ishi, in two worlds. The store had quite a few books on bow hunting. I'll be heading back soon.
They also had a no name recurve for 65$ I might give that another look.

Awesome! I haven't read the whole book, but I really enjoyed what I have read of it. I hope you get some more good ones!

Awesome cache!  

It's funny, I made up some black and blue arrows the other day that look a lot like those vintage beauties you found, I guess I wasn't as original as I thought.
