Title: Micro flights # 6 s?
Post by: GREATBROWNKNOCKEMDOWN on July 18, 2011, 01:40:00 PM
Just got a bunch of arrows, and there are six of these #6's, could anyone help me out and tell me what they spine around? they are really short 26in to back of point, so would that make them spine higher? thats the correct arrow length i need, so hopefully i can shoot them, i shoot between 45 and 50 lbs depending on the bow at the time.

Just remember that is the static spine of the arrow and not the dynamic spine. For instance a 1913 shaft at 29.5" gives you a 37.7 static spine but at 26" 68.7 dynamic spine. So those MF #6s will be stiff as all get out under shooting conditions.

The spine chart I have from 1968 shows a number 6 at 26" to be around 48 to 52 pounds.

I got about 6-7 dozen micro flites in last week from a customer.I did pick out a dozen very nice condition #9's for myself with bear razor heads on them.I'll be hunting with those this fall.Micro flites are great arrows and will normaly take more abuse then wood or aluminum.
I killed a bear in Que'bec last month with a micro flite #9 shot from a 45# bear take down.And beleave me that broadhead did a lot of internal damage to the bear when it was running off.The arrow did not pass thru the bear but was just slightly sticking out the opposite side for a few second anyhow.When she took off running the arrow shaft started hitting about 15 small tree's on her exit from my stand.The fiberglass shaft did its job well.Her insides were......well you get the idea.They are tough shafts and work well for me.The #9 I arrowed the bear with Tom and I recoverd the next morning and it was undamaged ready to hunt with again.I like em bd
