So is this weight forward technology any good? I really like my easton flatlines but I've trashed a few and will need a new set. The CEs will be about 14 grains heavier at 377. So basically is the loss in speed worth the technology?
Well I went ahead and picked up a set on my way home from work. My initial impressions (at the shop) were of very high quality. They are only 0.1 grains lighter so there is no real loss in speed. Also, this is the shop I buy basically everything so he cut me a pretty sweet deal on them. Needless to say I couldn't wait to get home. I started off at 25 yards to check my sight, perfect, didn't need to touch a thing. The grouping was fantastic. I was very worried I was going to shoot the knock off one. Next I moved to my second pin on 40 yards, again, the grouping was just fantastic. They were much tighter than with my flatlines. I was only able to run through 2 rounds at 40 but I was extremely pleased and still worried about damage. Also, I asked one of the tech guys at carbon express about arrow choice, weight, and what I wanted. I had told him a few days ago that I might have time to run by tonight and get them. Well when I got done I had an e-mail on my phone asking if I was able to get them tonight, how I liked them and how I felt they compared... nothing beats good customer service. I'm not knocking my previous arrow or manufacturer. I would recommend them to anyone and am actually letting a guy at work take some home to try out, but these are just fantastic. I will add more updates as I get more shots through them. I like to practice at 40 - 60 yards and sometimes 70+ if I'm feeling it. I'm very curious to see how these arrows do as opposed to something as good as a flatline.
