I inquired about trying heavily spined wooden shafts with my Hoyt. This was the great response from the arrow builder. (Company name withheld)
I don't think you should shoot 2213s from your bow. They would be so underspined they may fly in a circle and hit you in the buttox.
2315s are great shafts... though I don't think they quite qualify as "Superlites" if my memory serves.
I know nothing about aluminum arrows other than mine say XX75 2213 Superlites. Anyone on this thread knows more than me. So far I have learned that they could be great arrows for the correct set-up, but my 70 pound Matthew's might not be the best set-up for them? Please keep posting your thoughts
2213s were used a lot by guys with overdraws back in the 80s. They could cut the length down to where the spine was okay. I think back on the overdraw craze and am amazed no one shot a broad head through their arm.
You are correct... The 2413's are the superlites, not the 2315's. The 2315's are like a big old Mack truck flying through the air. Nothing superlite about those things! Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Maybe there is a difference between the xx78 and the xx75's but I am looking at the 2413 platinum plus, and it clearly states superlite on the shaft. I don't need or want to cause an argument, but would the different material change the classification? Either way, I don't care because they shoot great and are a fantastic arrow. I will keep shooting them for 3d for sure...possibly even hunting. They are excellent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Another thought...would the fact that they are supposed to be a target arrow (platinum plus) have anything to do with it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This is a newer shaft with the 360 spine written on it. The older labeling had them listed as superlights. At least I'm pretty sure on this. Even my 2314 super slams are superlights.
they made xx75 superlites and they made xx78 superlites but but some 2413 can be xx75 camo hunter or xx78 super slam or others
the x7 Eclipse 2413 is the same weight and alloy as the xx78 2413 but they consider it a target arrow. i wonder why
Cool...those black Forrest are sweet looking! I am loving the flight of my arrows after switching to aluminum. I was starting to get freaked out by all of the "my arrow blew up on me" threads. I had to make the switch. So glad I did. Is anyone else using blazer type vanes with their aluminums, or is everyone using feather combinations? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
i got 4 inch feathers on mine, i got a couple with blazers for wet weather and they fly good but the feathers fly great
It's the cooling process. They basically quench them to get them straighter, which makes them more brittle from my understanding. Great for targets but not for hunting.
Superlite was a marketing name. It doesn't mean the arrows are light in weight and was used on many sizes of alumimum. 2213's cut to 28" with a 100 gr point will spine correctly from a 68-73 lb bow per Easton's spine selector. If you can't cut them to 28" or shorter then I believe you will be underspined. Cut to 28" or less you should have a correctly spined arrow. A 2213 cut 28 with 100 gr point should finish out around 450 gr depending on fletching type. Good luck.
2213 is a 460 spine . That is a light weight spine for high energy bows of today. My ideal spine for a 27" shaft with a 28" draw at 57# is 440. I agree the superlights was a marketing ploy but they used it on the thin walled shafts to indicate they were lighter than the thick walled shafts in the .015 range.
Buddy of mine pulled put some of his old 2315 shafts today and was shooting them out of his katera. .360 spine arrows and he was shooting them at 62# and 29" draw but he still uses an over draw and had them at 26 1/4 length. They are stiff for him but he said they were flying excellent. And he had feathers on them. He was shooting a 494 gr arrow 243 fps and loving it.
Agreed. He would be better to cut them to about 26. I think they will shoot at 28 but he would better served with 2315 or 2219if he wants to shoot aluminum.
