I know that not all the Eastons are made in the US,from what I can gather,they have atleast 3 different shafts that are not made in the US.


I am also aware they get the raw materials from else where,mainly because it isn't readily available and some of the raw components just can't be mined here.

Atleast theyTRY to keep jobs here.Some of the companies just ran out trying to avoid some taxes.But I digress.


I agree that the pin nock system is a more accurate system,but like I said,Easton makes pin nocks also,they just put them on the best arrows in the world.[8D]

It is irrelevant what easton components do in another manufacturers arrow,they weren't made for them.


Ican't recall ever havingan arrow damaged from a back end hit that became unusable with uni bushings AND g-nocksand I have MANY nocks blown apart.I don't have a high energy setup so that helps but no one else has done it to my arrowseither AND I get my arrows(or used to) tuned out of a Hooter Shooter.That would tell beyond a doubt if there was a problem.I also change my nocks when in doubt.

I used to shoot ALOT of 3-d,all over.


Use what you like,I care less but there isn't a better arrow in the same price range as the ACC.Maybe some as good but none better.Just don't get caught up on .001 or .002 straightness,they aren't a reflection of anything usefull to even the best shooters.


Here are just a few nocksI had in my quiver .There have been MANY more over the years and even a few that had been broken off clean.

The one on the left is what they are supposed to look like.




A few of these would have been robinhoods if the unibushings were not being used but none of them resulted in a damged arrow.And people wonder why I spend the extra money for ACC's.
