Title: What shaft fits inside a CE 350?
Post by: sticksnstones on July 02, 2013, 02:31:00 PM
Does anyone know what skinny shaft fits properly inside a CE350?

I went through the whole archery shop the other night looking for the right one and couldn't find it. I thought it was a Beman ICS of some spine or another    :dunno:

Not sure but its only a .240 ID. A 15XX aluminum is the closest I can think of and that's .234 OD.

Most of the "skinny" carbons are 9/32 or .281 OD

Victory VAP 300 has a listed outside diameter of 0.239...should be a good fit if inside diameter of CE 350 is 0.240 as stated above.

Did you try to weight tube those up with the CX tubes Thom?

They worked great for my 250s but bumped the spine up just enough to get them out of 55# bow range.

Thanks for the replies fellas!
Eric, I did confirm my ID is .240.
Cory, thanks for the lead I will check on those at the range.
Nick, you know me I've always got crazy ideas about my arrows. Here is what I was toying with:
  (http://thomjorgensen.com/bows/arrows/footingidea.jpg)

Brown is my CE shaft
Green is the 2" of 2215 that I'm already footing.
Yellow is the 1 piece brass adapter I already use.

Right now when I blast an arrow into something hard it breaks right at the end of the aluminum footing. I was thinking if I JB Welded extra footing inside the shaft it might deliver a little more energy before it snaps off. Red would be 3-4" of internal carbon footing and the adapter would become a 5/16ths version of what I use already.

Of course the other option is to double foot the exterior, but I like the current OD of the shaft sitting behind my broadheads.
