Herter Farbenglass spine?

[J. Cook]

I came across some Herter's Farbenglass "J" arrows, and a few Micro Flite 8's ...can someone tell me the spine of these, or direct me to a resource that has the old spine charts for these?

Thanks!

The above links tells you the spine for Microflite shafts but the Herter's are different. Herter's Farbenglass were made by Gordon Plastics and the J spine is stiffer than the Microflite #8. If my memory is correct J's were like Microflite 10's.

In later years both Gordon and Microflite spines were 1 through 12.

I agree with Kelly. (To my knowledge) Log made all of the Herter's shafts and their #7 was marked as a Farbenglas G when built for Herters.  I still have a few of those.  That would make H and I the same as Log 8s and 9s, and J would likely equate to a 10.  I likely have a couple of Microflite 7s around here as well, and can check the static spines, if it's real important to you.  I used both in several spines for a number of years and did not find a significant difference in spine between microflite and log shafts.  I did believe microflite shafts to be tougher than Log.  However, Log shafts performed about the same.

M J Log was just a Arrow manufacturer-the shafts were all made by Gordon Plastics.

The numbering system used by Gordon and Microflite might be the same but the spines associated with the same number are different. Like I said earlier a #7 Gordon/Herters/m J Log is stiifer than a #7 Microflite.

I still have a few #8 Gordon's and really like them.

If you read it,the second link addresses Farbenglas as well.

Read the second link-both links in fact and they are just spine charts and neither mention Farbenglass.

Sorry Kelly,I double posted the same link.This should have been the second link:

From what I read,"J"'s would be 65-69# at 28".Each inch would change spine 5#,
