    "**ADVANTAGE 2400**"

    "Made in the USA. AFC CARBON ARROWS. By Game Tracker"

    Micro diameter shafts, outside inserts, so they take a "regular" or "normal" arrowhead.

    I see nothing as to spine or GPI.
    The arrows are 28 inches, sans arrowhead.

    I can find nothing on these arrows using Google, but a couple for sale listings on ePrey.

    So .... Is anyone familiar with these arrows?
    Can they be used with a compound bow set to a 55 to 65 pound DW or are they more suited to a recurve with an effective 45 pound DW?

    My DL is 23 inches. (I'm deformed. Among other things, I have short arms.)
    Should I have these arrows cut to 25 inches?

    I got 24 of these arrows today, complete with an arrow case, for what I thought was a good price.

    Thanks

    AFC was one of the first carbon arrows around, and was definitely the first popular micro-diameter. They originally got popular around say maybe 1995? I do not recall any talk or advertising point of "spine" or GPI. They were very stiff though, especially compared to other carbon shafts of the day. Sorry but that's all I remember about them. I do remember my dad had them cut down pretty short to try on an overdraw and it was a disaster- knowing what I know now they were way overspined at that short length and were not accurate with broadheads.
