Went by a yard sale on the way home today and found a deal on some arrows. Lady had a box full of all kinds of arrows from old outsert carbons to giant 2514 XX75's (TREE TRUNK ARROWS)!

What caught my eye was 4 old fiberglass arrows with built on broadheads.

The arrows say Microflite and were in rough shape but I can refletch them and crest them again. I bought the whole lot of arrows for $5   :D

The broadheads are 3 blade all one piece and very dull.

Anyone have any info about Microflite's?

Great arrows. Clean them up refletch cap and crest and go shoot them,probalbly need to replace the nocks too.The broadheads sound like bodkins. Good find.

The 7's are spined 45-50# I think

Glenn29

Thanks fellas!

I'll try and get a picture of them tommorow and post. I too thought it was a good find for $5.00.

And yes they are Bodkin broadheads I just looked them up. I ran a file across one and it came back to life on me. Sharpened right up!

Thanks alot fellas for the info!

Will clean them up when I get time...

Micro-flites were the top-of-the-line fiberglass arrows in the 60s.  They'll still shoot well.  I believe Sleepy Hollow is right.  No.7s are 45-50, maybe 5# heavier.

I have a mess of them Micro's if anybody likes them. Bodkin came in two sizes, 100 grn. and 125 grn. I'm looking for the smaller ones if anybody has some, let me know. Shane

I have good chance in buying almost 2 dozen microflite shafts with broadheads.   what would they be worth?

I got a dozen for 30.00-they were in 'new' condition; but I think that was overpaying................then I got seven for free and that's more like it............doesn't seem to be any set price.

i dont know much about them.  they were before my time in shooting archery.  but im taking just dont offer alot for them.  

im picking them up as part of a deal 5 longbows ( one i can tell is an Indian ) and a bear recurve ( black lamination, silver medalion ) couple quivers with few random arrows.

I've seen two of these old micros blow up in past couple years. Check em real good and I would not shoot them out of heavy poundage bows. They make me cringe now, my eyesight's not worth savin a few bucks on cheap arras. Antiques in my opinion are for collecting.

I have a Microflite spine chart on a XL spreadsheet. If anyone needs it, I can e-mail it to you.

was thinking of getting all these bows and and the arrows and maybe someone who collects would make me an offer.
