Jeff, I was checking out the ACCs, and noticed they are now offering an ACC Kinetic, supposedly about 40-50 grains more weight. Do you have any experience with them?

Also, I've seen you recommend the uni-bushing time after time, but every pic of the new ACC kinetic I've seen just has a press in
G-nock, no uni-bushing. Is this for a particular reason?

I see some ACCs in my near future, birthday is in 3 weeks <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

I DO have experience with the original A/C Kinetics which was Easton's first attempt about 2 years ago. They had the uni-bushing and G nock. They shot great, but the camo faded very quickly and rubbed off. They were about the same as a normal A/C shaft with the camo finish added. They have brought them back this year in a slightly different makeup.

I think there are two reasons why they do not have the unibushing

1) It's now the same shaft as the Beman Matrix and they just camo it..they (the Beman and A/C KII) have a slightly larger inside diameter than an A/C/C 3-60, and a slightly smaller diameter than a A/C/C 3-71 so the uninbushings don't quite fit right. The Super nocks they use however have a tab that grinds down when they install the nock for a tight fit.

2) they are already are about 30 to 40 bucks more per dozen than standard A/C/C's , and the unibushings and G-nocks would price them another 10 to 12 bucks higher even if they did make the perfect size for them to fit.

I think that the Goldtip g-nock bushing would fit better (since it is slightly larger in diameter) than the Easton A/C 3-60's though I have not tried it myself.

Personally I would just go w/ the standard A/C shafts.

Hope that helps!
