Default RE: Opinions on Easton Carbon Evolution shafts

I just did a head to head comparison of the three shafts on ArchersAdvantage out of an imaginary setup.The setup was similar to what you could expect from a hard one cam cybertec.



2314 495 gr finished weight
ke@bow=61.5 236 fps
ke@40 yards=53.2 219 fps


Evolution 400 439 gr finished weight
ke@bow=60.3 248 fps
ke@40 yards=52.2 231 fps


Evolution 340 461gr finished weight
ke@bow=60.8 243.8 fps
ke@40 yards=53 227 fps


The 2314 and the 400 were to the stiff side of perfect with spine.(practically perfect)The 340 was a little stiffer than I like but was still acceptable.If you increase poundage like you were thinking they would be better but IMO the 400 looks like an excellent choice as is.1 ft/lb of ke isn' t really that much to be scratching your head over.


Now remember these may not be EXACTLY what you will be seing but I bet the #' s are close.


I' ll give you another choice if you want the best of both worlds.Try the ACC Kinetic II' s.If the price doesn' t scare you off then I would think they would be just what you are looking for.

ACC kinetic II(perfectly spined) finished weight 460gr
ke@bow= 60.3 243 fps
ke@40 yards 53.3 228 fps



All the shafts had between 11% and 12.5% foc with the 125 gr heads.PERFECT
