Title: Herters Farbenglas Shafts?
Post by: Predator1 on April 23, 2010, 10:49:00 AM
I work in the refuse dept in my town and we always come across stuff in the trash. I found some Herters Farbenglas shafts and didn't know anything about them. Any of you guys ever shoot these shafts. They have an "H" on them as well. I have checked them over and they seem to be in good shape. I also found some 2016's mixed in with em.  :thumbsup:

My family and I shot Herter's farbenglass shafts for years and I still have some that I shoot.  I have a copy of their spine chart that I will email to you.  The H's are at the heavier end of the chart, but it depends on what the arrow length is.

Forgot to ask, are they the beige colored shafts with white wrap or the green shafts?  The beige ones are older - late 60's to early 70's.

"H" should be about 60/65#. They make a good, heavy, quiet shooting arrow. I use G & H.  Ray

These are the beige shafts with white crest. They measure 29 1/2". I'll try them out of my Howatt hunter. Its a 55@28 and I draw 27".
