Was bored so I checked out the local Craigslist for archery stuff. A guy had some quivers, some old Hi Precision broadheads, and a dozen new Swift 2016 arrows. I read where the old Swiftus are soft but they sure fly straight, look nice too.

They are new, but unfortunately 12 of them are for 5/16 shafts.

They are all 5 deg taper so they will fit any shaft. Just means that some of the shaft taper will be visible if shaft is larger than the head. Won't hurt anything.

I have been shooting Swift and 24srt shafts for many, many years with no problems. I bought 2 doz on ebay 8-10 years ago for $24. for that price they are great.

I've used 2016 (5/16) shafts for over forty years, they work for anything and any broadhead.
