If you are speaking of aluminum, I don't know if they make a shaft size small enough for AFC 1700, however have you considered using a larger size of AFC for that purpose? If you do go with the Easton, make sure you pick up the more expensive arrow shafts as their cheap ones have a much lower tensile strength than their more expensive ones. I have used Eastons, and you want to make sure you debur the edges after cutting. It is also possible to maybe use one of their a/c shafts which I believe have a smaller id than their all aluminum ones, but they can be very sharp after being cut and may not make good outside ferrules.

You might try an 1416 (if Easton still makes these). The inside diameter should be about .187 inches. You can calculate the inside diameter of Easton aluminum shafts. The first pair of numbers is the outside diameter in 64ths of an inch. The second pair of numbers is the wall thickness in thousandths of an inch. So, 14/64 = .21875. Subtract .032 from this to get .18675. Different types of shafts have slightly different dimensions than this. -- Marty Sasaki Harvard University Sasaki Kite Fabrications sasaki@noc.harvard.edu Network Services Division 90 Melrose Street 617-496-4320 10 Ware Street Arlington, MA 02174 Cambridge, MA 02138-4002 phone/fax: 617-646-1925 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
