For instance, my 28.5″ Axis 5mm with a typical aluminum HIT insert, match-grade collar, 100-grain broadhead, and lighted nock weighs round 460 grains. That is proper the place I prefer to be for my whitetail looking wants.
Nonetheless, the FOC on that setup is comparatively low for at this time’s requirements – someplace within the 5-7% vary.
Growing my FOC by including level weight will increase my whole arrow weight to 500+ grains, which isn’t unhealthy, but it surely’s a bit greater than I’d like.
Constructing that same-size arrow utilizing an Easton 5.0 shaft permits me so as to add 50-75 grains of weight up entrance within the type of both a brass HIT insert or the brand new Match Grade half-outs whereas protecting the identical whole arrow weight and bumping my FOC method up. It’s a win-win.
Easton 5.0 arrows can be found in six backbone choices: 200, 250, 300, 340, 400, and 500.
