Default Carbon Express Maxima 3D Select

We are carrying CX arrows at the shop this year, and glad we are. Folks really like them so far. I ordered a dozen Maxima 3D Selects and am nothing short of amazed. CX has tolerances that are just incredible. The 3D selects are straight to .001, and that's over the ENTIRE length of a 32" arrow. All other arrows are measured over a 6" length, I believe, but I know CX are the only ones that measure over the entire length. I was a HUGE fan of Easton ACC, but these are straighter and tougher. ACC's are straight to .002.

The cross weave construction is incredibly durable, and the finish on them allows them to be pulled from targets quite easily. I shot them into a McKenzie bear and they pull right out.

The second photo is of the bulldog nock collar. This protects the end of the shaft when they are slammed together. I have ruined alot of arrows by cracking the very end of them by the nock. The bulldog takes care of that problem.

The only problem I have run into is wraps don't like to stick. I cleaned them w/ alcohol and that helped, but a little scuffing w/ some steel wool would do the trick. Vanes on the other hand stick fast, no problems at all. I'm not really sure what the deal is with that, but it's nothing that can't be fixed.

My groups shrank, I picked up quite a bit of speed, and they just fly amazingly well. I can't say enough good about them, I am really impressed. I hope to be shooting these for a long, long time. Check them out at www.carbonexpressarrows.com for more technical information.
