Big Jim's Dark Timber carbon shafts

Shout out for Dark Timber shafts, I really like them lots.

The now discontinued Beman/Easton ICS Bowhunter shafts were what I'd been using for decades and awhile back I gave the Dark Timbers a try and was hooked on their performance and durability, and at a lesser cost than the Bowhunters.

Thanks for a great arrow shaft offering, Big Jim!  :thumbsup:

I tried them on the LTR this year and I liked them, so I bought two dozen, I am a wood arrow guy but I like to tinker with my arrows,

Yep, same for me, woodies are my go-to.  Carbons do have their good place, though.

No dog in the fight...I almost exclusively shoot Easton 2018's...but , If I were to go Carbon , I would very likely be shooting Big Jim's carbon line of arrow shafts....Reasoning ?

I do know Jim does ( and continues to do) a "LOT" of testing of his products. If Jim says they are tough , and worthy of his Name ...they are likely Great shafts at a great price !   :campfire:

Maybe this belongs in the ultimate stumping thread, but I footed some dark timber shafts with aluminum shafting and they are darn near indestructible.

Yep gotta buddy that put me on a couple dozen a few years back and I love em. These were the old stock that the finish didn’t stay on particularly well but I hear the improved ones are pretty durable. They are as tough as the GT I’ve shot all the prior years.
