Arrows.. Who knows what I got?

GR8atta2d · 03-30-2008, 12:57 PM

I just bought 17 Vapor by Blackhawk CAA (Carbon Aluminum Arrows) They are labeled 3280

Complete with 2" blazers

The OD is .250 with what looks lie 100 grain tips

27.5" from nock to tip.

Questions canI Shoot them from a 60-70Lb Alley OK?

They any good?

Yeah seems funny not to know these things upfront. I'm just not familiar with the brand or arrow. Let's just say the price made it a no brainer if ror me or for resale

Thanks

Oh and PS ...what do you think 17 of these in perfect (mostly unshot) condition are worth?

Hmm, I'm not sure about the 3280 but I do know that the 5575 on the Gold Tips means between 55 and 75 pounds.

GR, the arrow is an aluminum/carbon composite, right? Think of Easton ACC. Then think of ACC 3-28. Get it? 328___0. That's what the 3280 compares to. The specs are nearly identical. The quality is pretty close. And the retail cost is about $30 less than ACC's.

I have some 3-28's and happen to know that the spine deflection is .500", so "NO" they are not suited for your bow setup unless you back it down to 60#, and even that is questionable. Best way to find out is look at Easton charts and see where the 3-28's fall or ask someone with a computer program, but they'll tell you the same thing.

Gr8, they are the same shaft as a Goltip CAA 500. Look at GT's charts for these arrows. They are probably a bit weak unless you are putting some really light heads in them.

Thanks BG and Rick.. My shop owner whom, later echoed you guy's statements that they were probably a bit weak for me.

As I said the price was right and when they were offered to me, my shop ownersaid "Bob, buy'em, we will find out if they are right for your bow, if they are not I'll buy'em off you for your initial investment." So it was win/win

thanks guys.
