I' ve been shooting the Easton Epics, and now I see they have a new carbon out called the Buckeye. Its suppose to be a little heavier carbon, and same shaft as the evolution w/o the camo. Evolution is easton' s heaviest carbon. I' m planning on picking up a doz of the buckeyes strictly for hunting, and use my epics for 3d' s. I' d rather have the extra grains for deer. I shoot a 26 1/2" arrow myself!
