Just when you thought you had the ultimate arrow in FMJ, Easton is trying to confiscate your equipment budget. The compatibility with RPS insert is a huge + in my eyes. The inherent weight forward design will cause those things to hit like a ton of bricks.
Edit-Sorry for the wrong year!

I really like the idea of these. Better wind drift while still having regular broadheads.
Anybody have an idea of weight on the 300 spine shafts?

What do they mean by this- "Straightened to the highest industry specifications and is coaxially aligned to ± 3 milliradians to produce the most precise hunting arrow available today."

These will work great with knock off China rage heads

I wonder if these can only be shot through a drop-away rest? If you were shooting a whisker biscuit would the reducing diameter create a tuning nightmare?

299....a half dozen. Not too bad

That's $50 a piece. I guess some guys are okay with paying $30 per broadhead to shoot a deer so it makes sense!
At that price point I will be sticking with the tried and true 5mm.

I like the concept and I'll bet they'll be in the $250-300 range. Hope they don't price them up there with the X10s.

So how does a "seamlessly tapered shaft from 6mm to 4mm" work when you cut it for your own length? Is it just the outside that's tapered with a consistent inside diameter? Do they make different lengths for that "seamless taper"? Need more info.

Either way, if the cost is $250-$300/dozen, count me out. I kill 'em just fine with the $120/dozen Axis, even adding in the cost of the brass inserts.

I like and use the 5mm version FMJ's. They hit hard and last long. This is going too far, messing up a good product just to turn more profit. What a gimmick. I guess you cut the 4mm shaft end as it is probably longer.

Time to start another “How much does your arrow cost?” thread

At 6 X the price of a good arrow this new design is a gadget that I doubt makes much of a difference in the field but it will appeal to some of us that assume the newest, most costly equipment will make us a upper echelon bowhunter. These arrows work best if wearing full Sitka camo.

Easton been pushing back for years say high FOC was non issue. Now all of sudden then are marketing it to tune of 300 a dozen arrows. Typical bullshit marketing from the archery industry.

Also found out that the Easton rep misspoken at this roll out. These are 300 a dozen retail not per 6.

300 a dozen? Gfy! I’ll take my axis at .001” for 100 a dozen.

Not exactly new tech. Arrow Dynamics had a tapered carbon shaft back in the 90's. So Easton took that concept and added the aluminum "jacket".
Not impressed, but they have to come out with something "new" every year.

If they’re really $300 per 12 that is Effin ridiculous! No thanks.
