Black Eagle Vintage

[Takeem406]

Has anyone tried these yet? I can get a good price on them and my quiver is running on E.

I've been shooting Carbon Express from my longbow and they did ok. I needed a smaller spine but I got them weakened down.

My bowyer is a shrude business man when it comes to his beautiful woods. They shoot great but they are light. Then he'll take you out to the outdoor course and we'll shoot out to 60 yards... So I lost two woodies last night and clipped one with another shot and chipped it. So he'll make sure youll be buying more arrows lol.

How do you get the weight up on a wood arrow? Go to a heavier spine then weaken it with a heavy point?

The ones I have now are only 425 or so.

Thats why I like the carbons is I can add weight tubes and brass inserts etc.

But I see those BE Vintages come in a point 001 straightness, that's unreal. And they support the Gritty...

.001 on an arrow out of a trad bow isn't needed at all. 99.9% of trad shooters would never notice it over a .006. Yes, they support the Gritty, but you can add woody weights to your woodies to get the weight up. Nothing quieter than a solid wooden shaft. Nothing. Aron said tolerances were tighter on the Black Eagles, but durability wasn't as good as the Gold Tip trads. You can get cosmetic blem GT trads from Big Jims for $53.95 a dozen for shafts I think. Hard to beat that if you wanna do carbon.

In that case I'll probably just run Carbon Express again and foot them. Thanks!

I've been very happy with my BE Vintage shafts. My only complaint is using glue on the inserts as recommended by BE and having inserts pull out but I've fixed that by going back to hot melt.

In order to get heavier wood arrows, you have to look to something other than cedar, generally. Also, go up in spine but offset that with heavier point. I shoot Douglas Fir, typically a 70-75 shaft with 160gr point. Out of my 65lbs longbow, they fly like darts and come in the 625-650 range.
