2117?

I bought a used Vixen for a friend, and it came with a dozen 2117 bolts, These seem like an oddball size. Anybody using them? Is there a reason not to? Any info appreciated.

I shoot them. You can buy GT brass inserts for added forward weight.

No problem at all.

I use them with my vortex. Shoot great.

Tried to buy some 2117's today and was told they were discontinued!!!!!!

"2216's are the exact wieght" the man said; so one dozen on order with my colour flechings on them.

Hope he was correct.

Can't really see it, but anything is possible. They are one of the most popular arrows for recurve verticals. You will find they don't shoot the same. Been there, done that. (Atleast they didn't for me. I am sure someone here will dispute it and say they do.)

I'm assuming you can make your own. I have a fletching jig.

Thanks for the info guys!!

He is correct about weight, I would ask Easton about the discontinued part, I'm pretty sure that was one of the best sellers.

My Wolverine loves the 2117/Wasp Cam Lok combo

2117's are what excal had in there packages years ago and i shoot them as well, hope they are not going out of comission

....last dozen i bought was 15 years ago and still have 7 of them and they are well used when i shot my compound, now they have all been through my exocet at least 100 times each

....looks like time to stock up on 2 dozen for the rest of my life

Yes the 2117 arrow was the arrow of choice at the beginning. But I was told (about 4 years ago) that Easton had decided to replace that size with the 2216 which has the same weight per length. But it has a greater over all Dia with a little thinner wall thickness. I have since bought 2216's and use some 2117 still as well and do not need to keep them separate as they have the same POI.
