Does anyone have boom dimensions for the Arrow II?
What I'm looking for is overall length, length to each of the 2m elements as measured from the end of the handle and length to each of the 70cm elements as measured from the end of the handle. I currently only own the Alaskan model which has different dimensions. I don't really want to go out and buy a new handle as I have 3/4 square tubing on hand and would like to fab up some lightened handles for a few people to try out. I can't seem to find anything on the location of the elements, only the element lengths.

Mike, I can measure mine but how about this one? --- Ciao baby, catch you on the flip side. GEO
