Title: GRAPHFLEX arrow?
Post by: Jon Stewart on November 03, 2010, 02:03:00 PM
Anyone know anything about these.  They  are dark grey glass arrows and appear to  be about a size 7 or 8  in microflite size). I am thinking about fletching them up and using them.  Any thoughts?

I shot them back in the 80's.  Seems like they were really heavy.  Don't know why they quit making them but they have been discussed here before.

What color is the "GRAPHLEX" printing on the shaft??  That tells the sizeor spine.

I shot them a bit back in the day.  They were made by Gordon plastics, as Brian notes, in the 1980s.  The early model was dark grey.  Later they were a sort of yellowish tan color.

I made us lots of dozens and wholesaled them. They shoot great and are about the right finished weight with a 125 grain head.
They are tough also. Ken

They also made the GlasShaft, which was a fiberglass composite.

I had a couple dozen of the I-60 (spine 55-60@28"). Someone in the NE snatched them off the St. Jude auction.

I still have a dozen. Well made, strong, heavy and shot well out of the right bow... then went an lengthened my danged draw!  :)

Jon;  Colors (spine) went; green,black, yellow. red. Green being the weakest. Yellow is recommended for 70# @ 28" bow. Hope this helps.
