I need some insight... I've never been a big carbon fan, anduntil I got into crossbows I've never really used them much or got into them enough to figure the sizing of themout, and every time I did try to figure out all the different sizing designations used for carbon arrows I found myself wanting to go get drunk...
what I want to know is how crossbow arrow sizingcompares to all the other carbon arrow designations,any and all sizing I see for crossbows is 22/64"and nothing else, all others are 340, 400, 500, ect. or 5575, 7595, ect, from what I thought(and can see) those numbers are the spine, but it also states that those numbers are also the shaft size, so what dia is a 340? or a 5575? and what is a 22/64" carbon arrow? is it a 340? 400? and how do you convert the numbers to figure out what matchs a 22/64" to all those other goofy numbers or vise vers
seems like a simple question, and it probably is, but its got me lost...
the reason I ask is because I've been eyeing bemans ICS camo hunter shafts but it lists several different sizes(340, 400, ect.) and I have no idea which one of those sizes equals 22/64" dia...
KLS, I think what you need to do is convert 22/64 to thousands 22 divided by 64 = .34375 thats the outside diameter so anything within 330 to 350 should work but the total weight recommended by your bow manfacturer should be there, hope this helps.
