I'm trying to figure out what arrows I plan to use for 3D's in 2003. I like the light, fat CXL's, but with the factory and Beiter nocks, they get expensive due to damage and don't hold up to nock hitting. To the archers who use the 2213 unibushings, are you satified with them and do they hold up well? Is there any other manufacturer that makes a good nock or unibushing?

I won't be using them again. Even with a 2213 bushing I've found them very fragile. In addition, just about any moderately hard impact must mess with the carbon weave as I can't keep any of them straight (and spined well) for very long. I've found them less durable than the ACCC Hyperspeeds. The CXL's shoot quite well when new though.

Overall, I think they need quite a bit of improvement.

If you are looking for a large diameter line cutter, you might look into the Goldtip line, as they have a couple of different options. Apparently they are more durable than the CXLs when I've talked to folks familiar with both shafts.
