Item !  Bear Magnum (alum) arrow- 8.6mm made bu easton

For a certain period Bear marked the Magnum arrows in milimeter instead of the standard 1/1000 " that we know as the standard for easton.  If I remember correctly 8.6mm would have be equilevent to about a 2117 (?) I think. They were made by Easton and were just as good shafts as any others  that Easton made.  I found the metric a bit confusing so I just stuck with Easton shafts.  

That was just about the time that the plan was to move the US to the Metric system, which never really took off.

I have about 3 dozen of the 8.6 metric magnums and a bunch of 2117's.  I've shot them both, and it could be in my head, but I believe that the 8.6 is a heavier and stiffer arrow than the 2117.  It seems to have more drop and less speed.  Like I say, it could be just in my head . . .
