RE: carbon metal matrix?
Word of warning:
The Beman Matrix and A/C Kinetics are NOT up to the QC standards of " regular" A/C/C & A/C/E shafting (The Matrix and A/C/K are the same exact shaft , only the Kinetic gets the camo finish)
I built a dozen A/C Kinetics for a buddy of mine a couple of months back,and I was amazed at how poor they were straightness, and component fit. Alot of money to pay for Arrows that are not a whole lot (if any) better than the best all-carbon shafts. I' ve seen some bad run-out on the Matrix shafts too.
I personally would never shoot either without unis and G-nocks. Nock ends are too fragile.
They are a good arrow for sure, but unless the increased weight is a real issue, the A/C/Cs are a significantly better arrow for not a whole lot more $.
