I ran across a few 1918 aluminum shafts.
Anyone know what spine they are?
Billy, I'm sure they are close to .500 spine.
I used to shoot 1916's, and they are just a tad weaker than my .500 carbons.

Checked Easton target and hunting catalog, 1918's do not show up. Guestimating from 2016-2018 using 1916-1918. they are probably around .570
Thanks guys....these are older Autumn Orange shafts, and 1918's are not listed on my spine chart.
I was thinking they'd be between a 2016 & 2018
Fletching one up to see how it flies is my best bet.
1918's spine just under 2016's by about a 1# or so.
1918=58 spine
Thanks for the replies
1918- .550 Deflection - 12.0 GPI
And I love them just a little stiffer than 2016 and heavyer.
Great arrows! I wish they were still made. I try to pick up all I can. I shoot a 29 1/4 inch arrow and they fly great with 145 grain heads out of my 53# Schafer and my 54# Blacktail.

2016 spines .531
Doug Danielson was nice enough to sell me a dozen Autumn Orange 1918 shafts. He even threw in a new fletched arrow.
I thought they would probably fall between a 2016 & 2018, which is what I normally shoot in aluminum.
I cut the arrow down to 30", and it flys pretty good out of a Dale Arner 54# recurve. A bit more tweaking and it should fly really nice.
Thanks for the input everyone.
Wish I could run across a few 1918 shafts! :pray:
