Graphite Shafting - People question if graphite arrows are traditional? Well, what is "traditional"? They are as traditional as fiberglass (remember Micro-Flites?) or aluminum shafting, plastic nocks, dacron strings, BoTuff, etc, etc. "Tradition" is in the mind of the traditionalist. What we do feel strongly about is adequate mass weight of an arrow to absorb more of the bows stored energy for the purpose of penetration and longevity of the bow. Even the US Congress can not repeal the "law of inertia" which, to a bowhunter, means penetration. We recommend an arrow weight of 9-12 grains per pound of draw weight. We prefer either the Gold Tip shaft because of their unique system of adding mass weight (see #510, #511 and #512), or the Carbon Express shaft, which accepts weight to the end point only (see #511 and #516). This system also makes it possible to really fine-tune the shaft for perfect arrow flight. The greatest advantage of the virtually indestructible Gold Tip is that it allows you to maximize your accuracy (especially in cold weather) by shooting moderate poundage and should you not get a pass-through (which may even be preferable), the graphite shaft is unlikely to be broken off but will continue "working" as the game animal seeks to flee through the brush.
You may order just one (or more if you wish) of the Gold Tip XT or Carbon Express Tuning Shafts for the
purpose of bare shaft testing and tuning, as per our Black Widow Owner's Manual Companion DVD, to determine which size works best from your bow.
Gold Tip - with RPS insert, #510 nock adapter, and #511 adapter weights (210 grains total).
Carbon Express - with RPS insert, and #511 adapter weights (210 grains total).
We do not offer to cut tuning shafts to length.
LIMIT 3 TUNING SHAFTS PER EACH SIZE
