Default Quick check for me. GT CAAs

Alright, I found a GREAT deal on some GT CAA 400s (.390 spine). I'm at work and all of the arrow charts/software is blocked due to a "weapons" category filter. I'm assuming since these are a .390 spine, I would be ok with my current setup since I shoot 3-49s/390s. I'm planning to cut these to 27", so at 58-61#, 101st Airborne, 28.5" DL, will I be ok? Thanks, guys. Normally I would do this myself, but like I said, I want to confirm it today, and purchase these before they're gone. Thanks.

Looks good from where I am sitting. According to the chart. 55-60 lbs, 100 grain tip, 26 to 27 inch arrow in a CAA calls foreitheror. Meaning either a.440spine or a .390 spine. This sounds like what you are looking for, cause if anything it's the stiffer option of the two. Where'd ya find em?

Another attractive thing for you is that these come with pin nocks.

These also come with the adapters and pin nocks, so that's good. If I get them, I may try fletching them up with the fusion vanes.

Word of Warning- don't know if GT has made any improvements to these in recent years since they purchased Blackhawk, but they are def more prone to bending than a similar A/C/C and the carbon fibers lift /nick/ding much easier. They also have noisier finish.

No free lunch with those puppies- but they do shoot well.

I've heard that, and well, we'll find out I can live with some of those issues, considering I got 2 dozen with pin nocks, adapters and inserts for the cost of 1 dozen ACCs
