Was hoping one of the Bear historians could enlighten me as to the years and differant types of arrow boxes . I picked up a box of micro-flite arrows from the auction site and would like some insight as to the age .I've only seen 2 differant arrow boxes ,the white w/ blue graphic and the green w/ black graphics are there others ? and could you tell me what years they were used .The arrows are micro-flite 9 but are as near to new as you can get The only flaw is the slight deteriation of some of the feathers. I think some say that it is from moths .does anyone know how to prevent the deteriation from continuing , is there something that can be placed on the feathers that will prolong their life ,I dont plan on shooting these just holding on for histories sake . Who knows maybe someday my kids or grand kids will appreciate them . I'll post some pics later today

Micro-flite first appeared in 1960.
Spray the fletch with bug spray or cedar oil for the bugs. Or the inside of the box, then close the cover with the arrows inside.

you can see by the points that these have never been shot ,also no crease in the cresting would just like to know if anyone can narrow down the age ?

Can also spray the feathers with silicone.

Your arrows are early 60's, there were quite a variety of boxes over the years and some did not have covers. Your box is one that I have not seen alot of. And I have had alot of different boxes over the years.
