Just wondering if anyone has hunted with 1820 aluminum arrows? If so what is your set up? Thanks!

I use wood mainly for hunting and some 2016's
I tried to get the 1820's to work but never really panned out for me
??the thin diameter? just never could get to fly right out of my bows
thought they would be good tough arrows also the inserts I got for them were not the best in tolerance either kinda realy loose

Excellent shafts! I used a Deep Six nock as it is far stronger than the G nock.
Found some aluminum inserts on eBay that were a perfect fit.
This 50# 2008 Howatt Mamba just loves them...I got the orange shafts and fletched them with orange and blue fletch with a blue nock...looks great IMO!

Here is what 1820's are made for...stump shooting in adverse conditions where lighter walled shafts might bend.
They're a tough hunting shaft with lots of energy

Yes, hunted with them two years ago out of 35#, 28" BOP with 250 grains up front. Flew great.
Am using ASL's right now and feel woodies is more appropriate. If and when I ever go back to the recurve I'll use them again. Absolutely one of the toughest aluminum shafts along with the 1720, 1718, 1920, etc. IMO the reason Easton quite making them was this toughness, so much so that they sold archers who used them less shafts. Rather they migrated to thinner wall shafts which bent and easily broke, thus many more repeat sales.

I found mine on eBay. The shafts are easy to find. They are the Genesis shafts for youth archery. The bushings take a G nock but the Deep Six are much stronger
The inserts for screw in heads are a bit trickier...#4 Carbon Express are a good fit.

Great Falls...Lancaster Archery and quite a few other suppliers have the shafts. They are 30" long and come with the nock bushing.

Get a screw in insert for a 1816, screw in a field point, chuck the field point in a drill press, take a good file and in no time you will remove the couple thousands needed with the file. Then check for fit.
I was fortunate to find a bunch of original old stock inserts of both types but way more one piece glue in broadhead adapters. I only need a few with screw in inserts so do the 1816 and file approach.
