Xx75 aluminum arrows

[Homey88]

Just wondering if anyone had any experience with the xx75 aluminum arrows. Was thinking about shooting them out of my vintage 67 kodiak hunter. I'm going to have them cut at 30 inches with 4 inch feathers, and possibly a 125 VPA penetrator broadhead. Any advice or input would be appreciated. Thanks

Good arrows, you can probably find them 2nd hand for next to nothing. I would cut them down myself as I tune them, it's easy enough. I wouldn't use them for 3D as they will bend !

Good luck

They are great shafts, can't really go wrong with aluminums.

I use Legacy's, no issues at all. Aluminum's can bend if you hit something you didn't mean to on a 3D course but no big deal to me. I'm running them out of a couple of early 70's Bear recurves so you would not be alone.

They are great and not too hard to tune.  And they don't bend if you hit foam all the time LOL!  I bend a few each time I shoot 3d.

I use them all the time.  They are durable and fly well when properly tuned.  Use a spine calculator (3Rivers site) and plug in all the vital info and figure out which spine you need.  500 spine is 2016s 400 spine is 2117s.  between those two spines you can tune a lot of trad bows in the 40-55# range.

Over the years I've collected a room full of them. Have shot many different sizes, but now shoot 2018's, 125 gr. heads, with three 5" feathers. Tough arrow.

I love them, easy to make up great shooting arrows with them.  Wouldn't be my first choice for stump shooting or small game hunting, but I don't do much of either so not a problem for me.

I another with a closet full. Right now I am shooting the AO 2117 size out of my Bear Mag TD at 60# ran it through calculator and came out so close I fainted.
Yes, only downside is they can bend but there are simple tools that you can buy and do the straighten your self.

I like aluminums; very consistent in spine, easy to mess with.  I am shooting 1916s on my 45lb recurve.

I love aluminum arrows...they r affordable...easy as pie to tune...and they fly like darts out of my longbow. They can bend..but as long as u r cautious and don't abuse em then they r as durable as any other arrow in my opinion.

I am also shooting aluminum.  2117 out of 60 pound recurve.  I like these adapters for them, super strong.

Count me in.
1816, 1916, 2016, 2018, 2117, 2315, and my favorite the 2219.

1916, 2014, 2016, 2018...depending on what bow I'm shooting

M60Gunner,

I am shooting about the same set up this year myself.  Some old school autumn orange 2117's with Snuffers off of my 63 pound Bear take down.

aluminum arrows are my go to shafts.  I use them 75% of the time 25% wood.  I never really played with the carbon, I guess that I just didn't want to go through the trouble involved in getting the mass weight up where I like it.

[Red Beastmaster]

I have some wood beaters I use for stumps but shoot and hunt with aluminum. Alum is a joy to tune and they fly soooo nice. It's all I use.

I wouldn't hesitate using aluminum on 3-D. If you are bending them it's not the arrows fault.

[ronp]

I've been using 1816s, 1916s and 1820s lately with my mid 40# range bows.  I can pretty much tune them all to my bow by changing length and point weight.  I have even used 1716s with light points.

[ronp]

And I've been playing around with footing the aluminum shafts with short pieces of larger diameter aluminum shafts.

great shaft, I use them. Can be had for very reasonable prices. I picked up a dozen shafts for $34 shipped!
