    If they are similar to Eastons 2216's, I had no problems shooting them through a old 70# Browning. Not the fastest bow out there, but was decent for the time. Around 240 fps. Looked, and I still have at least a dozen of them myself. lol

    At 26 3/4" they wont be far off, a .340" suits a modern 65# to 30" so they should work. If underspined you can use carbon inserts to decrease point weight and stiffen them up a bit. Really you need to shoot them and see.

    I'd shoot them no worries.

    Not bad with what is considered today as a heavy arrow.

    Will you have to change nock placement or rest setting using a fat aluminum arrow on a bow set for skinny carbon arrows?

    ^^ The way it should be, never having to know if customer service is great or not! Too bad it isn't that way for all companies. It makes you wonder when eveyone knows about great customer service from a company doesn't it? ^^
