Does amyone sell a swagged aluminum shaft? Shot some a few years ago...really liked them

Breeze

Mike's Archery out of Ironton, OH.
I don't know if they still deal in them, but that is where I always used to get mine when I shot aluminum.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Easton Legacy aluminum shafts/arrows have a swaged end.

If so, then many dealers of trad equipment should be carrying them.

There was a good thread on this topic a week ago. Do a search. Swaged shafts are good stuff.

Look at Easton site they have several. Legacy, blues,jazz and one or two others.

Don't know what size you are looking for but these are for sale in the classifieds:

Mike's Archery does all my swagging.

I think Lost Nation Archery still handles them.

Whatever happened to R J Archery in Montana? That's where I used to get mine. They were good people. (nut)  

Question from a woodie shooter......what is 'swagging'?

Bjorn,they swage the end of the alumium tube into a 5 degree taper,rather than installing a seperate taper.

I guess Mikes Archery does em.

I called The Footed Shaft today and they do them for $1.00 an arrow.  The legacy arrows has a tapered nock end but it won't accept a broadhead.

There used to be 5 degree swaged arrows available that were made through two different processes:  1) hammered swage and 2) spin swage.  The hammered swage process produced a stronger connection than what is produced with the spin swage process.

R J Archery, mentioned above, is where I bought all of my hammer swaged 2219s and 2216s in my early years of archery hunting, but I do not know what the current status is with R J Archery.

Good luck with your search!
