I have put an ad in the Classifieds looking for Easton 1918's.

I was wondering what others experiences were with them?

They would seem to me to be a useful weight, albeit a bit heavy. I also can't find any info on their spine on old charts.

Thanks

Peter

Peter, they spine very close to a 2016 but are of course narrower and a tad heavier. My buddy Scotty Robertson shoots them..some older ones. They are 11.58 grains per inch, and .550 spine at 29 inch, versus 525 for 2016 and 10.6 grains per inch. Courtesy 1968 Easton spine chart.

1918's are essentially the same as an 1820 for all practical purposes.

Try Mike's Archery in Ironton, Ohio and see if he MIGHT have some bouncing around there.

1968 charts. You can save it to file and then edit it to make them bigger.

George...the minute I saw that chart I remembered you had emailed me one three years ago! And I still have the email.

Thanks to all who replied..now to find some...I understand it is tough as those who like them, keep them!

Another place to get an arrow chart for reference is the Black Widow bows owner's manual, it can be seen or downloaded on their website.

I was 144 of them. They work great for all of my longbows 50 pounds to 58 pounds. I cut them to 27" bop and adjust the spine by either using the one piece glue-on ferrules or use the the converta point long adapters all with 160 grain heads. For me they are more forgiving than 2016s and 38 grains heavier, which puts them in the 535 to 545 weight range depending on the hardware involved.

A month ago I was given a dozen 1920s with both types of inserts, now I have 22 of them. They work with 190 grain ribtechs out of two of my bows very nice.

I like the old aluminum too, but think 1820s would be a bunch easier to find.
