What direction are they going with this one ??.They are claiming " devastating penatration" .The shafts are 17/64" or 9/32" .If this " new" skinny carbon shaft is the way to go,,then I think I would revist the old Beman carbon hunters.They run 15/64" and 16/64" .That out-sert makes them TUFF as HE!!.No joke.
I have hit some VERY hard things with them.The out-sert has mushroomed back over the shaft,,with out even as much as a crack.Talk about concentrated KE.Thats 16/64' s with 60 FOOT POUNDS behind it.It will be going thru your target,,deer,,elk,,bear,,,,,mckenzie [
].
It looks to combine the best of both worlds it seems. No fooling with outserts (and their tendancy to eat up targets of all types) and no nock outserts or slip over nocks to cause tuning hassles (unless you use a drop-away). Yet they have the very small diameters approaching pultruded carbon styles.
My friend who runs the shop talked with me a bit about them over the weekend. He was impressed. Prices will be fairly reasonable as well..he said they should run about the same price as he sells CX standard shafting for...so I'm thinking they are going to be in the $75 to $80 range for shafts w/ components.
He has some on order, I'll be giving the 300s a whirl when they get their stock in. I'll put 'em through the wringer, you can bet on that
P.S. I'm not liking this new software upgrade..these new "smilies" suck! [:@]
