Those are AWESOME.  What spine did you get?  I shoot FMJ 340 but the new spine choices throw me for a loop

I like those.  Does the cap come yellow or did you paint those yourself?

I bet if  you go to the Easton website you can find a dealer near you.

I see they have them in the new 6mm shaft size.  Do you think they will come out with them in the original 5mm shaft?  I think it was the mid 70's they came out with the original AO shafts.  I shot a lot of AO 2016's through my kodiak hunter back then. The AO was easier to find when stumping.

I would love it if they offered the 5mm FMJ's in the AO or the Dougherty Gray from the old days.  It seems the simple anodized would be slightly cheaper than the pattern they use now.

Do these require the deep six inserts and broadheads? Would love to tune some up for my new to me Big Jim's Buffalo...

Post by: twigflicker on November 23, 2016, 05:41:00 PM
Kromer...

From what I understand the 6mm shafts are the same size as the old Easton Excel shafts... and use a different insert...

The original Axis and FMJ are 5mm...

The deep 6 fit an even smaller shaft if I'm not mistaken...

At least that was the info I got from the pro shop...

I checked their website. These are a special limited shaft that seems to be a short lived offering. Im pretty sure they do not take deep six components but have standard threads for field tips and briadheads. They also have a dealer search app. They are a skinnier version of the FMJ.

They take the H nock and RPS insert
So the same as the beman centershot shaft
Title: Re: New Easton FMJ autumn orange 6MM shafts
Post by: Warden609 on November 24, 2016, 10:43:00 AM
Anybody have any idea about brass insert replacements for the RPS inserts? When the centershots first came out 75 grain brass inserts were the heaviest available. I really like these arrows, but I would also like some heavier inserts. Thanks

Post by: AndreasLundin on November 24, 2016, 06:33:00 PM
Love the look of these but once again one cannot buy heavy enough spine. Most trad arrows stop at 330 spine. What if you wanted to shoot a heavier tip (250-300 grain) and got longer draw?

I shoot 300 spine for the moment at #56. My new bow arriving in March will be around #64 so 250 spine will he needed. I wish axis traditional had a .260 option like the regular axis. These shafts would be awesome... alas in heavier spine.

Gary--If you ordered some 320s I would like to get a dozen of your best dressers. Let me know what you think will look good...

I see these are 6mm.  What diameter are the original (500 spine) FMJ's?
Title: Re: New Easton FMJ autumn orange 6MM shafts
Post by: Steve O on November 26, 2016, 01:07:00 PM
All mine measure 7mm O.D with calipers.

But these use standard 8-32 points, not the special Deep Six 6-32.

Post by: gvdocholiday on November 26, 2016, 06:59:00 PM
original fmj are 5mm.
Title: Re: New Easton FMJ autumn orange 6MM shafts
Post by: last arrow on November 28, 2016, 10:51:00 AM
The original FMJ are what they now refer to as 5mm.  I think that refers to the in side diameter as the outside diameter is about 7mm.  The ones that use an x nock are original FMJ.
Title: Re: New Easton FMJ autumn orange 6MM shafts
Post by: Steve O on November 28, 2016, 12:50:00 PM
Right on. The Deep 6 are the 4mm and use special 6-32 points. The standard FMJ we are all used to are 5mm and use the HIT insert, and these are a little larger at 6mm and use more of a "standard" insert.
Title: Re: New Easton FMJ autumn orange 6MM shafts
Post by: Cwilder on November 28, 2016, 01:07:00 PM
The use the rps insert just like beman centershot arrows and H nock
Title: Re: New Easton FMJ autumn orange 6MM shafts
Post by: JR Belk on November 28, 2016, 02:47:00 PM
There is a brass insert for the H nock sizes as well. It's a 75-50 break off style similar to the HIT inserts.

I just ordered a couple year's worth. Highest spine for my son and lowest spine for me.

Yep I have 3 DZ of the .390's now. I may order some more just in case  ;)

OK, for those of you in the know.

I'm shooting a 50# Toelke Whip at my 28" draw. Usually cut my arrows to 29.5" with 225-250 grn heads.  What deflection you think? I'm willing to cut them longer or a tad shorter to make things work.
