Thanks archer125, thats news that I wanted to hear. I like the fact that they look like they have a smoother finish. I currently shoot CX 300's with my Featherlite but now that I have the Switchback I wanted to stay with Carbon Express but was torn between the CX 300's and the Maxima 350's. I do like that they are a little bit straighter with a more consistent spine. They will also look great dipped in white with the red feathers and a red/yellow/black crest pattern that I am going to do.
