Title: Finding replacement arrows.
Post by: john gerrard on October 21, 2010, 10:23:00 AM
A few years ago Cabelas had a closeout on their SST 220 carbon arrows.  These were the very small diameter arrows with the outsets. I bought three dozen. After many trials and experimentation I finally got the arrows at the exact right length,exact right weight and flying great out of my bow.

Now the only problem is that I only have ten arrows left and Cabelas does not sell them any more. I have tried other carbon and aluminum arrows but I like these the best. The small dia. and a 225 gr bhead shooting out of a 49# bow and I get excellent penetration.

Does ony one know where I can get small diameter arrows with outsets in a light spine weight? Thank you.  John aka Brokenwing

Try a WTB shout-out in the classifieds, never know if someones got some lying around. You might also call Cabelas. A REP may be able to do a computer search and find some in a warehouse somewhere. Can't hurt to try. If you have no luck there, get the specs--diameter, gpi, etc, and look for something as close to thar as possible. Good luck!

Those were/are great arrows.  Beman still makes a "Carbon Flash" that is the old style pultruded carbon.  The stiffest available though is a .570 spine.  I don't know the spine of your 220's but I'd guess they are close to that, or maybe a bit stiffer.  Worth checking into though I'd think.
