anyone shoot these arrows? seem kind of on the light side, but I like the tolerance in the spine..opinions?
2.) Hunter - 12/11/2013
Shot them for several years. They were great. Changed to blue streaks this year just because I got a good deal on a dozen.

All the red streaks were consistent and flew straight

you must be thinking of different arrows..these are the new..supposedly you can shoot from 50 lbs to 80 lbs with the same arrow not worrying about spine stiffness..
4.) Ohbuckhunter - 12/11/2013
It's pretty much the same arrow as the blue streaks. I shot them for 2 years and have a half dozen of the red streaks. Both fly the same. They both fly great.

did you shoot anything with them, are just for target??
6.) crookedeye - 12/11/2013
2 years?? looking at my bass pro magazine they say there new..
7.) Swamp Fox - 12/11/2013
I know the arrows you're talking about and I thought they were new this year, too. A friend shoots them and likes them. They don't seem excessively light when I handle them. They also seem like a tough arrow.

250's at 27 inch or so.. you can shoot them from 50 to dang near 80 lbs.. the 250's weigh 8.1 grains per inch. as eienstein would say..
10.) Ohbuckhunter - 12/11/2013
Red streaks are new this year. Blue streaks are a few years old which to me there the same arrow.
11.) crookedeye - 12/11/2013
that comes up to about 316 grains with a 100 grain field point if my bascic math is correct.. is that to light??
12.) Ventilator - 12/11/2013
i have had blue streaks break on turkeys and deer both. However,they fly awesome and i never looked at them as a tough arrow. Now Maxima KVs are badass along with my new Easton Injexions.
13.) Ohbuckhunter - 12/11/2013
This doe was from this year. Red streaks. Arrow was fine. Clean up and back in the quiver.

14.) crookedeye - 12/11/2013

15.) Ohbuckhunter - 12/11/2013
This is a blue streak after going through another doe. This year.

16.) Ohbuckhunter - 12/11/2013
250s. I only shoot 62 lbs though. But have shot the same arrow out of a 71 lbs creed and tuned perfect.

But they're not (except to you)....LOL...

18.) Ohbuckhunter - 12/11/2013
Shooting these now. Vaps. They shoot great but did break on a pass though. But didn't break when I had my 19 yard miss this year.

19.) Ventilator - 12/11/2013

20.) crookedeye - 12/11/2013
