        Going through a barrel of old arrows the other day and found some “O” micro- flight shafts (6) they are tiny little things.

        Well I thought they would make some great arrows for my 4 year old grand daughter who is showing interest in archery.

        Got nock incerts and nocks but no tips, anyone got any or know what would work??

          Interesting… I have some 6’s. Yellow. Their field points are internal– glued in and nib points. Before my time.

          I have a lighter bow I was using after some surgery and had them in my quiver. An older gent came up to me and asked to see one… his eyes bugged out…he told me they were going for $100 on the internet!

          My, oh, my…

          Dunno diddly about that but you might want to check it out before you let your li’l one play with them…if you can find “points”.

          Good luck

            Hey Doc how ya doing. These are the yellows too. The green were in hunting sizes. Yellow were a better quality shaft. They were sized from 00 to 12s

            I have a couple 8s left that I hunted with back in the 60s that were rated for about 45# very tough arrow wish they still made them.

            I have lots of grand kids that will get more use out of them.

              Doing ok for an old duffer who is butt deep in never-ending snow…! Thanks for askin. Hope you’re well, too!

              Those internal “Nib” type points made it they were “target” type. No interchangeable ability with those…

              I still have mine, but whatever they’re spined…I don’t shoot those level bows…

              Maybe someday I’ll need to… so I hold onto them…but probably should see if someone wants them, eh? ❓

                I have a six-pack of the “8” size yellow Micro-Flights. They came with 3 blade glue-on broadheads. I recently changed the points to some glue on field tips to play with in the basement.

                  Got my 1966-67 copy of Archers Bible from Kittredge Bow Hut here.

                  At 28″– #6 = 45-50#, #7 = 50-60#, #8 = 60-75#,

                  #9 = 75-90# This is the target chart. (We always thought these charts were high.)

                  I have a #11 w/ a 5/16 fish arrow inside that I use on our bigger fish around here 😀

                  The green hunter shafts had standard BH adapters.

                  Doc. We didn’t have screw-in back then.
