Default RE: Anyone know what these are for?

ORIGINAL: Ausie-guy

I used to use skinny little shafts like that when I was shooting FITA style you get less wind drift at longer ranges with the skinny shaft and with a heavy tip
Bingo! That is exactly what I am using these for. Much less expensive than X10's, ACE's, and lighter and skinnier than ACC's. These all weigh in exactly the same and the whole dozen spins out perfectly. They are all 373 grains. Some of the top shooters in this area have been harassing me to try to get me to start shooting field archery and FITA this year, so I will be giving it a chance in an attempt to learn something. I guess when you are shooting at 90 meters, it makes those 30/40/50 yard shots seem like chip shots. That's the theory anyhow.......
