My Tall Tines 55# recurve sure likes them. I like the weight of them. I have only used FMJ 400s tho.

OK, one more for those of you in the know.

I'm shooting a 50# Toelke Whip at my 28" draw. Usually cut my arrows to 29.5" with 225-250 grn heads.  What deflection you think? I'm willing to cut them longer or a tad shorter to make things work.

I think your on the border between 390 and 320. how heavy is your insert. I shoot the 390's cut to 29.5 with a 150grn head and 50 grain insert from my 51lb at 28 dryad orion longbow. I draw to 29 and they are not the ACS limb type.

I believe my inserts are also 50 grn aluminum.

Why are the spines so much different than conventional carbons? I shoot 54@28. Which would be the best for that weight?

FMJ fan here also.  Best penetration of any arrow I have ever shot.  There's a reason why so many western elk hunters use them.

this is wrong,,,,,,seriously these aren't even on the same plain as autumn orange they are imposters.....Dale what happened to 1916 and 2016, 2018 and so on THOSE where autumn orange?    I shoot and love carbons and the FMJ is a GREAT Arrow but no carbon just because of its "custom ordered" paint job and copy cat color should ever be called autumn orange,,,,,,, seriously come up with something original.

Looks like the name only is back--the original XX75s were aluminum, swaged nock end, no carbon.
The years accumulate on old friendships like tree rings, during which time a kind of unspoken care and loyalty accrue between men.

of course which means they disgraced the name, that name belongs to an aluminum arrow that was legendary.

Easton named them, not 3 rivers. And its an inanimate object.

I like FMJs. I also like the Autumn Orange because they are meant to be retro like the AO of the 70's in name and color.  I have zero interest in all aluminum.

I ordered 4 dozen; 2 each for my son and I.
