2117 vs 2216

[shuey270]

Can I use any size allumn. shaft in my Equinox as longas I stay over 350 grains? Wich would be better 2117 2216 2315? I have all of these to try. I've herd the brass insert from goldtip will fit in a 2117 shaft.I thought that would be easy to get the weight and good foc.

I am new at this also but i have shot all of them and 2219s they all shoot well the 2219s seem to be a little quieter but a little slower also.

Yes the brass insert will fit the 2117, that use to be the Excal standard. Won't fit the 2216 & abit loose in the 2219. The 2315 have to ck make sure it will fit between claws against string.

Straight fletch or offset?

[gerald strine]

I'd say most people use 22** series shafts in their Excaliburs now, but the 21** series will work fine, too.
I use 2215s in my Phoenix, but may switch to a 2213 with heavier points next year.
Most Excaliburs aren't too picky about what you feed them.

2216 is a very good i use them all the time. They're lighter than 2117 or 2219.

Any one know the weight of 20" 2117,s with 4" feathers, gt brass inserts, aluminum nocks and ST 100gr. broadheads. Is the FOC adequate?

Yes, your getting close to heavy artillery, and your FOC is OK could stand a little more 488grs. and 12.5 foc

Thanks Wes. I think those should be worth a try. I like my GT2s just fine for whitetails, good speed with plenty of energy. This fall I will use my Exocet for Elk and will be more comfortable with a heavier arrow.
