I came across a bucket of old arrows for free. and I have some Easton World class X7 arrows (black) and I read they are swaged, and A few have no points and nocks. Can anyone tell me how to check if they are swaged, and how I can find some points (they have a collar)and nocks( also looks like a collar).
And I also have some Beaman Hunter(not ICS) arrows that have nocks that go over the shaft and the point end you cant tell if it goes over or is inside type insert. They are very thin and marked 60-80# figured the kids could use them.
Thanks for any help.
If you look at the back of the nock, on some of the older X7 they were swaged for about an inch or so from the end, taking a smaller than the diameter of the shaft for a nock. Just the nock ends were swaged. They are rated just like all the other aluminums.
As for the beaman's, they are called outserts. Both the nock and the point outserts go over the shaft. The Point is on about an inch, and the nock about 1/2 inch over the shaft.
Thanks Charles, They dont look or feel to be swaged and have a nock insert.Any idea as to who carries the points for these. They are 2114 and what spine weight would they be(I shoot wood only). And I am clueless as to aluminum.
Sitting here with my old easton arrow chart now. The X7 2214, based on 125 grain points will be for a recurve
27"= 61-65
28"= 56-60
29"=51-55
30"=46-50
31"=41-45
I am sure you could find the inserts for screw in, or even the older nibb that were 7% and 9% for an easton dealer like *********. Just make sure to get the inserts for the x7 as it is a little different than the xx75 as well as I remember
You have a PM on where to find them
The nock end on a swaged shaft is pulled, or drawn to a smaller diameter. You can see and feel the reduced size. The X7 is very hard, and they may not have done it.
Here is an explanation, that I found online.
Easton says:
*The 2214 X7 closely matches the 2215 XX75 and will shoot very nearly the same from your bow. The 2214 is only 7 grain lighter in weight and .010" weaker in spine @ 29" than the 2215 XX75.
The following products are available from Easton; the X7 is a 7178 alloy. The closest is their Super Slam 78 shafts, but they do not come in 2214, but are available in 2215. Eastons then says:
"75" = E75® and all XX75® model shafts - Autumn Orange®, Easton Classic™, Advantage™, Camo Hunter®, GameGetter® II and GameGetter® (7075 alloy)
"X7" = X7® Eclipse® shafts (7178 alloy)
Try the following chart. At the bottom 3Rivers has Carbon, Aluminum and wood. Along the bottom of the Alu. it says the 2215 is "I", next go to the matrix chart and for your arrow lenght, or draw length, using a longbow, or recurve it will give you the weight. Their link is:

Thanks guys I knew I'd get more understandable info on Powwow.

For the X7 series which I think now is the Easton Eclipse series, PDP carries the point inserts for these arrows. I know because I shoot an X7 Eclipse in size 2212 and PDP does make them for the X7 series in size 2114. These PDP inserts are better than the point inserts made by Easton.

I don't think any company makes converta point inserts (RPS) for the X7 series in size 2214 anymore.
Thanks Joe, They are really cool looken arrows and I hope to get them together for my kids to use.
I shoot Easton's X7 Eclipse series aluminum arrows and since the X7 series of shafts and arrows don't come with RPS inserts or arrow nocks from Easton, they have to be bought as separate items, I buy all of my PDP converta points (RPS inserts)and Easton Super Nocks for the X7 aluminum series from Bowhunters Superstore in Wellsville, Pennsylvania via the internet.
