Anyone else here shooting the AC KINETIC that EASTON stopped making this year. I bought a dozen (the 400's) two years ago and was having trouble tuing my bow with the new AC super slims. I havenow best setup with and without broadheads that I have ever had. I actually believe my Broadhead groups are better than my field point groups.
I am just curious to know if anyone else uses this arrow Evidently not enough of us because they stopped making them at Easton.
thanks for any posts!

I had a problem in years past with arrow weight, was going to buy kinetics but too much money at the time, for their weight there are others out there that weight the same. I opted for acc 3-71's and solved my problems, they may be a bit larger that the average shaft but at 9.92 grains per inch for me they are the perfect blend of speed , penetration and flat arrow flight out to 30yrds with one pin. Don't over look them, use the ones you have this year, and then think about change in the spring. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

I shot ACC 3-60s then 3-71's then the AC KINETIC 300's ... since they discontinued them I am back with the 3-71's again...
They are all the same arrows, the AC Kinetics where just made in heavier weights for hunting applications, but I found with my set up like LOU LOU said the 3-71's are perfect...
ACC's period are great shooting arrows and durable hunting arrows...

I am taking my A/C Kinetic II 400's to Colorado tipped with Muzzy's and Rocky Mtn. Turbos. Mine are fine and have the heavier weight combined with an aluminum/carbon combination. I am down to ten now.

Kinetic II's (the most recent incarnation) are NOT the same arrows as A/C/Cs, other than they are both made of alum and carbon. The KII's and the Beman Matrix were the same arrow, the only diff being camo on the KII
A/C/Cs in the common 3-XX series (3-49, 3-60, 3-71, etc) are made with 3 wraps of carbon (hence the "3') nd a thinner alum core tube than the A/C Kinetic IIs...The KII's/Matrix are made with *2* wraps of carbon and a thicker alum core tube.
The original A/C Kinetics WEREthe sameconstruction as a regular A/C/C(and sized the same, i.e 3-49, etc), but had an extrathin outer layer for the camo finish. Unfortunately that camo finish was not very durable and also faded quite easily. The original Kinetics also had a factory installed uni-bushing.They were dropped for a year or two and then when Easton introduced the Photo-Fusion process, they brought out the K2.
In my testing, I've found the KII's to suffer in the QC area compared to the original Kinetics and standard A/C/Cs...the problem usually being straightness runout issues. They were not held to the same weight or spine tolerances either (but were still very goodin those areas)
