Howdy Wayne,
You really ought to be able to put one together from a Century Hawk Pro manual ... for the parts numbers. The parts are reasonable ... not much to it really. My biggest problem was finding arrow shafts of the right outside diameter. The couplers and bearing carriers are a snap ... transmission output shaft sizes can be adapted as can tail box input shaft sizes ... some shim stock or a drill if you get in a pinch.

Thanks Larry. I guess I would have to check the sporting goods store for arrows?

Howdy Wayne,
Well ... maybe. I happen to live in "redneck country" ... so we have archery only stores which stock just the arrow shaft. A typical sporting goods store will more-than-likely have complete arrows (12 bucks on up for CF). The shaft itself, without fletching etc, is in the 4-5 dollar range.
Let me know what diameter you need and I'll send them to you. I have a good relationship with our local shop and can get whatever you need.
Also, for the larger birds like the Bergens ... you'll use an aluminum shaft. I have some inserts for aluminum shafts that I believe were/are a MA part. JB weld the insert into the shaft and it has a dandy little notch that attaches it to the the MA coupler.
While on arrow shafts, there's a "youth" CF shaft that younger archers use ... it's lighter and smaller in diameter. They make great push rods for the tail pitch ... makes a simple friction free linkage back to the tail ... about 4 bucks. They're light enough that you don't need to fart with guides. I just JB weld short links into the shaft, screw on the ball links ... and that's it.

Larry this all sounds so involved! LOL Thank you for all your suggestions though. I am sure that something will work for me.
