Where are the best places to buy bolt supplies?
BTW...I have another stupid question.
When looking at an aluminum shaft, what do the numbers mean? (ie..2216, 2219 etc...)
For example, Easton makes several variations of the XX75 shaft, different camo patterns, different alloys, etc. Because of this, when it says it's a 2216 shaft, are they all the same, or are the weights of the shaft different?

The numbers stand for diameter and wall thickness, e.g. 2219 is 22/64" OD and .019 thick or 19/1000 if you will. As far as the different alloys, some of them are made of higher PSI, but remember, this refers to the alloyed material and not necessarily the shaft itself, if my memoy serves, it's been a long time. I am sure nowadays you can probably access all this information on Easton's website. I've been led to believe that the newer charts are more conservative than the older charts I've probably used in the past.

The #'s on the shaft tell you shaft diameter and wall thickness ex: - a 2216 shaft is 22/64ths in diameter with a 16 thou wall thickness. 2117 = 22/64ths by 17 thou wall thickness making both shafts almost the same weight. The shafts are all standardized by these measurements for aluminun shafts. (2216 and 2117 are almost the same spine/ stiffness )
Wether it is a game getter II or XX75 or XX78 the sizes stay the same only the alloys used to make the shaft and straightness changes hence the increase in cost for premium shafts.
I have used cut down 2216's from my compound in my excaliburs forever. If I bent a 2216 from my vertical I wound put it on my spin tester and see if I could get 20 inches of straight shaft. If I could; the shaft was recycled into ammo for my exocet.
It's not that I am cheap I'm just thrifty.
