Title: Aluminum 2117's?
Post by: Jesse Minish on February 12, 2009, 07:49:00 PM
I know nothing about aluminum or carbon arrows and was given some 32" xx75 2117 aluminum arrows and was wondering what spine they are? Thanks in advance.

Jesse, they spine at #78 on my tester. In a Gamegetter they call them 400's.

Thanks Eric. I had 175 grains up front and they hit left and high out of my 72#@ my draw tip so can I put more weight up front to get them heavier or would that makem to weak?

Jesse
Are you right handed? What length are your arrows cut to?
I think a 2117 from your 72# at your draw length bow would be to weak.

Outwest is right, no matter what your drawlength is, 2117 is too weak.

The weakest spined aluminum arrow I shoot with a similar weight in front are 2219s. My drawlength is probably a little longer than yours but I usually shoot 2317s and even 2419s.

Taking into consideration a different bow, different string, silencers, different style, etc. it still sounds weak to me.

Yes I am right handed and my draw is a little over 29" and the arrows are 32". Thanks for the info guys.

Yeah, cut at 30" with 125 up front they'd be close, but at that length/weight too weak.

I cant cut them to 30" on my tip with my draw I need them closer to 31" or my heads hit the riser. I may just have to fletch them up and find a new home for them. Thanks guys.

I shoot 30" 2117s with 125 grain points from my 55# recurves and they fly great. At 570 grains, a bit heavy for my liking, though...

Their spine is .400, about the same as Carbon Express Carbon 4560s/250 size...
