Title: Micro-flites
Post by: mahantango on August 09, 2011, 07:23:00 AM
Found a dozen Micro-flites #9 at a local antique shop for $35. Look like they have never been shot, but three are missing the insert/point adapter. Not real familiar with these, is there an insert available that will work? Thanks.

I've killed a lot of critters with micro flite arrows and they shoot great pending you find the correct spine for your bow.How many inserts do you need ? and are the inserts for glue on or screw in tips ? I may have a couple around bd

They are glue-on, look like a broadhead adappter. I need three or four. I believe they are #9, they are in an Ben Pearson arrow box which is marked 50-55# spine which is perfect for me. Thanks for responding Don.

Are they labeled on the shaft "Micro-Flite 9" or are you just guessing they are Micro flite because they are fiberglass. What color are they? I have some Ben Pearson fiberglass shafts that are dark gray/green and are marked "55 Ben Pearson Glass-Flight" , these are made by Gordon.
You can experiment with aluminum shaft inserts to find one just slightly larger and place it in a drill and file it down to fit.
