Title: aluminum 2215's?
Post by: JEB on July 03, 2013, 02:36:16 pm

Anyone know of another arrow that has the same inside diameter as a 2215?

Measure it, then drill out river cane to fit.
Why?

WHY, because they are going to be used for footing arrows and I don't have any 2215's to use but I have over a hundred  of other arrows and was wondering if I had another size with the same inside diameter. AND they are not for me but someone else on another traditional web site.  SO, that means I don't have the arrow that is going to be footed to see if I have one that works.

Which comes down to: I am doing someone a favor.

Thanks for asking and your tip.

perhaps you already know this but the 22 indicates the OD is 64ths of an inch and the
15 is the wall thickness (.015)

so (someone double-check this!) the
ID is .31375.
 
you may have to do the math with other sizes to determine their inside diameter.

I spoke with Bill today and said he has a booth at the art fair in Hesperia tomorrow.  Wife is working 3rd tonight so I will wonder up your way and visit with Bill and maybe do some knapping  in the morning.
