Easton Carbon
« on: August 30, 2013, 11:22:00 AM »
I have been a Easton fan for over 50yrs, shot my first deer with a 1916 24srtx in 1959.

Question is, looking at the Easton sight the # of different models of hunting arrows. In the 19/64 and 5/16  size in pertecular (s). St Excel, Bloodline, Ion, Injection, Center Shot, and even 3 Rivers Traditional Only???  Just a fancy label or is there that much differance in the quality of carbon??

They all seem to say + or - .003

Just an old fart Thinking out loud.

How they are made is the difference whether they are extruded or wrapped fibers and on and on. Shawn

I guess everyone is as ignorant about carbons shafts as I am?

Sure like the way they shoot though.

The traditional carbons are made for us...the others are directed at the wheelie bow people...wheelie bow shooters tend to have different requirements and therefore the range of specifications...I kind of like the best-of-both- worlds carbons, the Full Metal Jackets with aluminum wrapped around carbon...they give me the weight I want in a slim technology arrow that is a bit easier to tune...of course that means I am mostly hunting this year with some 20 year old aluminums...just nice to have lots of choices

My beef with the trad only and the other offering is they are too light perfect for wheelie bows that have let off and way more energy. I don't like having to putz with weight tubes. A lot of trad guys shoot bows in the 40-50 lbs. range. 8-9 gr. per in. Just does not have the oomff especially with the standard insert and the most common 100-125 gr. head. So then we need to buy heavier inserts or buy really heavy heads and then try to find a  field point or a blunt with the correct diameter of the new small diameter .
The gold tip heavy hitters look good but they want an arm and a leg for them.
I think a lot of guys stick to aluminums for the weight and simplicity of putting some arrows together.

Sorry I'm rambling not enough coffe yet   :jumper:
