Yes,they are the Hexshaft arrow shafts,in theory it seems to be a good idea because you wouldn't have a weak side to the arrow,but I don't know anything about them.

They make a real good arrow, shoot nice and are very durable. They are tougher than most of  the softwoods.

I have some footed hexshafts from Bob, no weak side, once straightened and well sealed they tend to stay straight, they will not however take stain well. Your bset shot at staining will be with an alcohol based stain, but it won't be even due to the differences in grain of the six different sections.
