Kifaru flat vs regular stay?

[rhunter424]

Anyone have a picture of a flat vs regular stay from Kifaru? I bought a used pack with 23" stays, and it seems much flatter than my 24" stays, but realize the curve may be different depending on the length.

Kifaru has a vid with them laying side by side

Thanks I found two videos but that didn’t help much

Look at where the stays are and see what kind of stays are in the pack. Arrow shafts are for flat backs. Aluminum stays can be adjusted or bent to fit any style of back. And composite stays are for regular backs if I remember correctly. Hope this is helpful. You can change out the stays and put in whatever style you prefer. Fatrascal.

I would never use anything but aluminum. A few more ounces but a perfectly custom fit. I purchased two sets of carbon arrow stays and they have never left the package.

Do you have to bend the aluminum stays or will they conform to your shape with wear?

Kifaru always bend them but I always TWEEKED them a bit for a perfect fit. If you have severe OCD with weight. I always say make it up on another price of gear. Do not sacrifice comfort with just an OK fit!!

I'd never buy a pack with stays I couldn't form fit.
