Title: Easton 6mm FMJ - Autumn Orange
Post by: Burnsie on January 07, 2017, 09:25:00 AM

Thinking about getting some of these.  For those of you who have already got them, has anyone tried to remove the graphics? Often times acetone or mineral spirits will take it right off.

I use a little lacquer thinner and fine steel wool,the graphics comes right off easily.

Not to derail this thread but was just wondering how tough these shafts are, would they be OK to stump with?

My guess would be not all that durable, my experience with the thinner and tougher 4mm shafts has been good but durability gets a nock

I use good off or lacquer thinner to remove labels on all my Easton arrows. Good off works awesome for that and also for removing glue or residue on my bow shelf.love the new AO shafts

Idk about the 6mm size because I have never used those, but I do shoot the 5mm FMJ's and they are tough as nails. I don't doa lot of stump shooting, but do it some, and have never bent one while stumping.

They can be damaged...The aluminum skin is pretty thin, based on my experience with the older ones.  But if you don't shoot rocks, etc,they hold up just fine.

I found as long as the inserts and glued in good they are very strong. I stump shoot a lot.

I have some coming soon. I don't mind the graphics.  Easton is one of the biggest and most respected names in archery. Proud of them.
