Sounds like spine wise, the Lites are where you should look. I have been shooting them for a few years but recently purchased some much cheaper parallel shafts because the Lites do not seem to be any tougher than the shafts I was shooting before at half the price. The Traditionals are pretty much'bullet proof' and I have lost a few of the first set I purchased but have yet to break one.

The lites are shooting great. I had been out wandering around the pasture stump shooting for awhile this evening and figured I'd wander back up to the house and put a couple shots target. Shot 1 arrow each at ~20,25,and 30 yards. They're working for sure. while it may just be in my head, the Trad Lites seem to shoot more accurately for me than the GT blems in this bow. It could be just the tuning though. The footed GT's in the quiver are my stumpers. They are pretty dang tough as well. The Trad Lites I bought from the classifieds came with carbon collars on them but I haven't really tried seeing just how tough they are yet. The only flaw I've noticed is the nocks on the Trad Lites seem weak. I've blown out and snapped off a couple already and they've been shot much less than the GT's and I've not had much problems with those GT nocks. I plan on ordering some of the nock adapters and just using my glue on nocks to alleviate that little inconvenience. Thanks again for everyone's recommendation. Brad.

Brad....I may have some nock adapters laying around and I'll just send them to you. Should have some 9/32 nocks also that you can have. PM me back with your mailing address.

I don't know what it is but I've never had any problems with the nocks. Maybe just lucky. They are great shafts.

You can get the adaptors to accept Easton G nocks, that is what I use, just glue in the adaptor and push the nocks in. Ted Fry at Raptor has the adaptors. Joe's offer is also great, have used those in the past also, I just like to have the option of turning my nocks.

Brad...when you get the inserts, you will see 2 "lines". If you cut off the tip, believe its the bottom line, you can use Easton G nocks. If you leave the insert as is....the nocks I sent will work. I threw instructions in with the stuff. You should see them Sat or no later than Monday.
