GT Traditional Classic

Does anyone have experience with these arrows? They look like the ultimate traditional carbon arrow! I mean they've got it all.; micro-diameter shaft w/ higher than average gpi which means it is a thicker than average construction. They have a stainless steel insert/outsert available as well I see that is right around 75 grains and is compatible with the FACT weight system. Can really load up the front if wanted for those of us that like efoc. So, my question is this; is the part of the stainless steel insert that sits outside the shaft the same diameter as the shaft?

I haven't seen one in person, but it looks just like the old inserts so I'm sure it does. The regular Kinetics have been the hands down toughest arrow with the hands down worst insert I've ever used, footing them does a few things, it changes the point where the broadhead or field tip meets the arrow up to the same diameter and also cures the insert failures! I would imagine the stainless steel one to be pretty darn tough, enough so to not worry about footing them!

I have them in 500 spine with the stainless outsert and the outsert is the same size as the arrow. They are the most bombproof arrow I've ever used by far. The good thing is I can shoot a 100 grain broadhead and still finish out over 500 grains

I've been thinking about some. Big Jim has a cool video testing them out if you want to look at it.

I was a little concerned that the insert would be like the ones on Gold Tips Pierce and Pierce Platinum arrows; where the insert is smaller in diameter than the shaft leaving a lip of carbon arrow which means you have to use their outsert which I don't like...
