Anyone shooting this arrow if so what are your thoughts? I see they say it has a dual spine. And is really light. Wondering about durability. But think a guy might be able to get some EFOC out of them.

My experience with Maxima Blue Streaks was unfortunately unfavorable.
1. Moderately Tapped an insert into the shaft,no different than I had done numerous times in the past, and the shaft split approximately 1 1/2"s.
2. Broke a second shaft from merely arrow slap during first shooting session.
3.Broke a third shaft due to arrow slap the 2nd shooting session.
Victory VForce HV's offer the opportunity to easily achieve hi range EFOC for most setups.
Ultra EFOC setups are even possible for many shelves cut past center.

Been shooting some CE Blue Streak Maxima for the past couple of years.Haven't had any experience with breaking them.They are very accurate out of a few of my bows.Shoot 150's out of my JD Berry Taipan 46#@28,my Zipper ZSR recurve 45#@27 and a couple of other bows.Mine are 30" with a 145 gr. point.Even busted the nock on one with a Shawnee I had,didn't get hurt with the bull dog collar.Just replaced the nock and still shooting fine.I shoot them at targets and 3D's.

I picked some shafts up on sale not long ago. I've been experimenting with them the last couple of weeks and am really liking the way they fly. I'm shooting the 250's with 50 grain brass insert and 200 grain tip. Cut to 30" valley of nock to back of insert (about 30 1/8" back of point). Finished 'em off with some 8" reflective Onestringer wraps and 3 x 5" feathers for a finished arrow of about 520 grains. I haven't had any durability issues at this point, but they have only been shot into bag and styrofoam so far. They are also slightly smaller diameter and seem to penetrate my targets very close to if not as well as the Axis Traditionals I was shooting out of the same bow (56" R/D 50#@28").
