One of my other interests is Archery. Been shooting since I was a youngster. full recurve no compounds though.
A couple months ago at the range I happened to notice the Arrows I was using were pretty close to Minimum diameter Micro Maxx body tube size.
I thought about using a Carbon fiber Arrow shaft for this model then decided against it for Safety and joining reasons.
The final design went with standard T2+ (.281") dia. Standard wall tubing 30" long. To make transporting a bit easier I'm splitting the shaft at 15" using a T2(.246") dia x 1-1/2" coupling.
Making the Nock on the aft end was a breeze cutting the body tube to mimic the item. My drawing show it being the same yellow painted color as the shaft but I intend to paint it either Orange or Red.
Used a FlisKit NCB-2.5AD Nose cone as a base for the Field tip adding 4.7g of noseweight.
decided to use real fletching feathers rather then Bass or Balsa wood to fit the model a more "Scale" Look.
At 31.25 inches long once painted and decaled I'm sure the MMX Arrow with likely be close to 16 or 17grams.
Should get a few Odd looks at Launches.
