AZHNTR67 Report post Posted June 16, 2018 Hello! I came across these old wood arrows that I know are probably close to 40+ years old. I'm looking for some help with value and would prefer they go to someone who can use or display them. I am open to any reasonable offers Thank you!

Freakycamo Report post Posted June 17, 2018 I would say closer to 70 years old way before my time thanks for sharing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
360 0r Better Report post Posted June 17, 2018 Nope not even close to 70 years old Id say hes fairly close at 40 years old. I have the same style arrows and bear broad heads on some old plan cedar no paint on the shaft arrows that I know are 55 years old cause I purchased with my first bow from Rocking Horse Archery Shop (there a name from the time machine for some of you old timers on here). If my memory is correct they were just on the east side of I-17 just north of Indian School Rd. And they were one of only 3 archery shops in the entire valley at that time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZHNTR67 Report post Posted June 17, 2018 I am 50 years old and I have pictures of me with my father with the bow that he shot these arrows with when I was three so probably 47 to 50 years old. Pretty cool to think how far arrows and broad heads have come over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
360 0r Better Report post Posted June 17, 2018 Yup could you imagine shooting one of those out of a modern day compound bow? It would be splinter city. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MMACFIVE Report post Posted June 17, 2018 Cedar arrows shoot fine out of a compound. A compound actually uses a lower spine per given draw weight than a compound. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You go right ahead, Ill pass on doing that I happen to like my face, eyes, arms and fingers free of foreign objects made of wood but I wouldnt hesitate to shoot a fiberglass, aluminum or carbon arrow out of a recurve or long bow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmalcolm Report post Posted June 17, 2018 I was wondering if it would splinter in a compound bow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoghntr Report post Posted June 17, 2018 Just imagine it was wood splinters instead and all up and down arm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
360 0r Better Report post Posted June 17, 2018 And thats why Im not sold on carbon arrows either all it takes is one flaw or small nick in a carbon shaft to create this kind of disaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MMACFIVE Report post Posted June 17, 2018 This is the Easton spine calculator: https://eastonarchery.com/group-t11/ A 30 arrow out of a 60lb recurve requires a spine of .325 A 30 arrow out of a 340fps ATA coumpound requires a .375 spine......or less spine.. Its because of the difference in how the force is applied (full poundage at release vs how the cams apply the force) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcarr Report post Posted June 17, 2018 If memory serves me correctly, and of course that is not guaranteed, those yellow shafted "Bear Razorhead" tipped arrows could be bought out of a white cardboard display box at the local "Yellow Front" store for a whopping $1.97 each... the white colored shafts carried a crimped on silver field point and sold for $.79 cents each...as a 13 year old in 1973 I spent a lot of my hard-earned pennies on buying "Yellow Front" store arrows to keep my 40 lb draw Bear "Grizzly" recurve fed...... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were about 15% cheaper just a couple years earlier at the Ben Franklin Hardware. I can still smell those arrows. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
