Anyone have any experiance with Easton Lightspeeds??? I think i want to switch to these (now using Carbon Express CX's but I don't like Carbon Express...), but wanted to know if anyone had good or bad things to say about them... I like the ST Axis, but I really don't want to deal with the super small diameter and they are kinda heavy, and the C2 Epics are nice, but agian the weight is not what I want... The Lightspeeds look ideal to me... Any thoughts???

Thanks...

as with most archery equipment you use what feels good to you but most of my customers use gold tip 3555 because i can build em cheep but i do make a few acc arrows for 3-d guys who love the fast arrows most of it depends on your draw length and weight a lighter arrow will shoot flater but will make more noise i like to have fellas shoot a few different arrows i have here before i sell them one i also make shure there bow is tuned first since i only buy shafts after they decide what arrow they like i build what they want some times i find a deal on shafts and i can build em for around 45 bucks most of the time there 50 for gold tip or carbon express up to 120 for acc i did get a deal on some acc that i let go for 100 i dont know how many more of those i can get for that price i do have one 3-d shooter who pays 150 or more for 5 arrows i have to buy 2 dozen or more to get 5 that are exactly the same the last time he came in i got 5 arows from the leftovers from the last 2 times he was here so it only cost him 10 bucks i think i have about 10 or 15 of his arrows around here he has to buy all the arrows when i send his order in but he only takes the 5 that are the same the rest stay here we may need it to match up some other arrows when he comes in

I take it no ne has used these... Hmmmmm... I think I will get a few shafts and try them out...

XArmy, I have had some since early last year, shooting them for 3D. The ones I got happened to hold much tighter straightness tolerances than advertised. Mine were within .002" and only varied about 2gr over the dozen. They shot fairly well and were durable. Durable meaning I don't miss. I imagine that trees or rocks are going to do to them pretty much the same as they do to any arrow. I was shooting the 500's with 2" feathers. Light and fast. My opinion based on experience? Not too bad for the money.

I'm assuming you are not going to use them for hunting. I think they are a bit light for that. I just go back to my ICS Hunters for hunting. Speed just isn't an issue for hunting.

I'm presently shooting Vapor 23 Speeds. About the same overall weight but bigger diameter.

I might add that I'm not a real fan of Korean Express either, commonly known as Carbon Express. I think they cost about 4 times what they should considering the wages paid to make them.

Amen!!!! (to the Korean Express comment) Thanks for the feedback...
