Great arrows lots of weight small DIA. Not real tough as they can bend but they are a great great hunting arrow.

Use them almost exclusively...they just tune so easy and come in at the right weight that there is no reason to change. I use the 500's and still load the front with 250 gr. heads plus the regular insert. My LB really likes them!

Something interesting...

Tried my 500's with a 200 gr. point out of a #80+ longbow this spring......perfect darts!

You'd think they would be way weak but they tuned perfectly...wierd?

I'm shooting them out of my A&H ACS bow, which is a radical hybrid longbow. I am shooting the Dangerous Game version because I got them on accident. They come in at 630 grs so I think I may have preferred the normal for bows under 60#. Anyhow the shafts are great. Very narrow diameter, incredibly tight tolerances, and they fly beautifully. I prefer them to straight carbons tremendously and I am starting to like them more than straight aluminum. The only downside is the cost, but you have to pay for the best. I'm still undecided on the hidden inserts but I have had no problems with them.

i footed my 400 an 500 with alum shafts 1" so the tips can't curl back.with the insert inside an back a ways it makes them very tuff..the 400 with 75 brass insert at 29 inches is 400 grains with the vpa's it makes a 650 grain shaft..they fly very well..

They are my favorite arrows, easy tuning and reasonably tough, especialy when footed.
Having done so much, with so little, for so long, I can now do anything with nothing.

I'm shooting them out of all my bows, I've found them very tough. I found the tips mushroomed a little before I started footing them with a piece of aluminum shaft, since then I haven't been able to wreck one.

The one arrow that seems to shoot out of all three LB's I own.  Not a veteran trad guy, but a noteworthy observation.  Have had a couple mushroom stump shooting, but have also dropped a bull moose with a 500.  Also a fan of the opposite design by Easton the A/C/C and think they are more durable with the aluminum on the interior.  Drawback to both is price.  ~CB
