quills versus 18" black eagle

[Deaf jeff]

i am asking for a friend so he can decide which arrow he wants me to make for his 11 y/o daughter to shoot from a 308 short. what are the pros/cons between shooting these 2 lengths? i will be making these from black eagle executioners or zombies
TIA

I personally build and use 18” Zombie Slayer arrows! I prefer more FOC and heavier arrows. They are much more accurate and dependable too. Good luck!

The 18 is gonna stick out a little past the stirrup/small velocity loss.
The zombie /executioner is better shaft and you can go with a 110 insert and most any 100 grain head ... but my 18 year old daughter would not know the difference l assure you ...lol

Your 308 short may already have 16.5" executioners. 2019 and newer quills are BEE

i dont know the reason he does not like the quills but he did this same thing a couple years back when he started shooting a 355 micro.. i have never seen a quill in person so i am wondering if there is any indication on the quills that can tell a person if they are BEE which vane are used aluminum or brass insert .

I can't vouch for the new Quills, but the older ones were made by Easton. They have aluminum inserts and I think the vanes were 2 inch Blazers.
I shot these out of a Micro 355. Some shot okay. Other not so much.
I later settled on a 16.5 BEE with a 110g Brass insert. BEE's were indexed to a 0.001. 2 inch vanes were added to the rear and the tail lights are Lumenoks. I then attach 100g Swhacker's on the "pointy end"!!
The things shoot better than I can!!
Hope this helps.

AJ,
thanks for this info, it gives me a little insight to what may have cause him to "not like quills"
