The Vintage arrow is a traditional option for archers who use a compound bow, recurve or both. This high-quality wood-grain carbon arrow has a hand-painted cresting. Each Vintage arrow must pass strict quality-control procedures. The Duracoat wood grain overlay-finish allows refletching and cresting. Vintage arrows are straightness-sorted, spine-matched, and weight-matched to ensure quality and toughness.

Carbon Express Maxima Red SD

Carbon Express unleashes the new Maxima RED SD arrows. The smaller .203-inch inside diameter carbon shaft has stiffer ends to contain the arrow’s flex to the arrow’s RED ZONE. The RED ZONE is the section of the arrow shaft engineered by Carbon Express to contain dynamic spine, which reduces wind-drift for greater long-range accuracy. The Maxima RED SD takes only two spine sizes to cover 40- to 92-pound bows. Six- and 12-packs are sorted and matched by weight and spine. Spine selection sorting tolerance is +/- 0.0025-inch. Weight sorting tolerance is +/- 1.0 grains.

Easton Archery 5mm FMJ

For a limited time, Easton’s Utah factory will produce the FMJ in retro XX75 Camo Hunter finish known by countless bowhunters in the 1970s. The limited edition FMJ shafts will use the same construction as the other Full Metal Jacket arrows—an aluminum jacket over a high-strength carbon core. The 5MM has a micro diameter for more penetration and offers a higher level of broadhead accuracy than a standard carbon arrow. The FMJ is offered in six models including: 4MM, 5MM, 6MM, Dangerous Game, Crossbow, and Bowfishing.  The 5MM retro is available in four spine sizes: 500, 400, 340 and 300.

Gold Tip Velocity Valkyrie 

For the first time ever, Gold Tip introduces four fletchings straight from the factory. The Valkyrie comes “Factory-Four-Fletched” with aggressive graphics, lightweight construction and four low-profile vanes for added surface area without sacrificing clearance or speed. That means more back-end drag, faster stabilization, and group size reductions of 20-75 percent with broadheads. Add to that Gold Tip’s 100 percent Pure Carbon technology for unmatched straightness retention and toughness and you get the Valkyrie. It’s also now available in Hunter Pro, Velocity Pro, Kinetic Kaos, and Kinetic Pierce Platinum.

The small internal diameter arrow measures a.166 inches (ID). Standard Shok inserts are available in either 35-grain 7075 hard-anodized aluminum, or 95-grain 303 stainless steel.

Black Eagle Arrows, a relative industry newcomer, has made tremendous inroads into the competitive carbon-arrow market by offering top-quality products at competitive prices. Black Eagle keeps refining its products through real-world input and expertise from professional target archers and bowhunters. Black Eagle’s arrow quality also matches its top-notch customer service.

Black Eagle lists 13 models in its arrow lineup, an impressive array of shafts for everything from tournament archery to hardcore bowhunting. Here we’ll review Black Eagle’s standard-diameter Carnivore speed shaft, the medium-diameter big-game Spartan, and the standard-diameter wood-grain Vintage that targets traditional bowhunters. Black Eagle shafts are weight-sorted to +/- 1 grain, and spine-matched for tighter downrange groups. They’re available in .001- or .003-inch straightness tolerances.

Black Eagle’s Carnivore consistently posts dead-even speeds from a variety of compound bows. These standard-diameter 19-series shafts with .2445-inch inside dimensions are designed for speed-seeking 3-D shooters or long-range bowhunters. At 9.7, 8.5, 7.5 and 6.8 gpi, in 250, 300, 350 and 400 deflection, respectively, they ideally balance strength and forgiveness for archers requiring flatter trajectories and ample penetration on light- to medium-framed big game such as pronghorn, whitetails and mule deer. They hold Black Eagle’s 8-grain standard-diameter nock and 14-grain aluminum inserts.

The Spartan is a medium-diameter shaft that gives serious bowhunters a compromise between lighter, standard-diameter 19/64-inch speed shafts and thinner 17/64-inch shafts made for allout penetration. Thicker walls and increased mass improve kinetic energy and deepen penetration on the largest big game. The .224-inch inside-diameter shafts are offered in 250, 300, 350, 400 and 500 deflections weighing 10, 9, 8, 7.2 and 6.4 gpi, respectively. They hold 9-grain Black Eagle R Nocks and 26-grain stainless steel inserts that boost F.O.C. and reliability during hard impacts, plus 10-grain stainless steel nock bushings to protect the shaft tail.

The Vintage, with Duracoat wood-grain finish and handpainted cresting, received rave reviews when debuting at January’s ATA Trade Show. These arrows hold 8-grain nocks and 14-grain aluminum inserts. In addition, 42-grain brass inserts are sold separately for singlestring shooters wishing to increase F.O.C. and penetration potential. Look for them prefletched with vanes or 4-inch feathers (orange and black), or raw with 350/9.8 gpi, 400/9.2 gpi, 500/8.5 gpi and 600/7.9 gpi spine/mass.
