Title: What would you do with a dozen XX78 2613's
Post by: Zmonster on December 19, 2009, 12:07:00 PM
I stumbled across a dozen new uncut Easton xx78 2613's at a pretty good price, but I really don't have any use for them now. I was going to use them for footing, but they are too big. My heaviest bow is a 50# ACS, so the spine would be to far off to try shooting them. Maybe Tomato Garden stakes? Anyone have ideas?

Thanks

Yes, pick them up and list them for sale on some of the compound websites. 2613's are one of the go to shafts for indoor competition and generally go for $100 a dozen. Since indoor just started you'd sell them quickly I'd imagine.

Then turn your profit into trad gear  :) .

Leave 'em full length, put on heavy blunts, and spiral fletch, or 6-5" full height feathers.

Then take out to shoot rabbits or ariel targets!

Use them to foot woodies. With a little sanding you can fit them on 11/32" shafts.

They do infact fit my only 11/32 shaft really well for footing, but Im not shooting woodies any longer. I thought about making flu-flus out of them, but I figured someone else could get better use out of them instead of me wrecking them on bunnies. I may have to try archerytalk's classifieds, if I get no bites here. I know the compound shooters like these big diameter shafts to cheat the game a bit. Better chance of breaking the line I guess.

Is the spine not as important with flu flu's?

I would use them as a trade item for something I could actually use. Not that I can't use arrow building stuff but even if I had the stuff I wouldn't build them. I think I've said this before "I hate making arrows!"...lol
