Title: Shaft Recommendation
Post by: ArkyBob on February 13, 2010, 06:46:00 PM

I have 3 longbows that shoot 2018's well depending on arrow length and weight up front. I have been thinking of ordering some gamegetters since the shaft cost is a lot cheaper than the legacy shaft. My question is would I be better off with the 400 (which is about a 2016) or the 500, realizing there will be some tuning issues likely either way. Which will most likely be closer to the 2018? Thanks

I think that is correct.2016's are 500 spine.I think 2018's would be something like 460?2117's are 400 spine.

Those shafts really impressed me if i shoot aluminums those are the ones i go with
those really are fantastic for the bucks you pay for them like 28 bucks a dozen you really cant beat them

JimB is correct according to my Spine-O-Meter comparison readings;
2016 = 530 approximate
2018 = 460 app
2117 = 410 app
