The are great shafts. I have been shooting the CX Thunderstorm SE's (basically the same arrow) for several years. The are strong, very consistent, and a great value!!

I like mine. Decent weight and spine selection. 3 Rivers has the weight adjustable PDP inserts now. I have those ordered to play with them a little.

I like them.   :thumbsup:   Better spine and straightness than a lot of shafts costing twice as much, and good weights and spines for trad bows.

I took this buck November 8th with a CE Predator II in 45/60.

I bought some for my son Nick, he is 12 and shoots the 20/40 lbs spine. If they can hold up to Nick, they surely pass the test.

I see they have .700 and .800 spine shafts, now, that use a 46gr. half outsert. With my short draw, the .700's are my next arrow to try.

There has been an availability problem with the half out inserts all year.  Hopefully that's about worked out as the .700's/.800's are a great choice for some of the lighter weight sticks.

The neat thing about the .700/.800 shafts is you don't have to have the half outs, a standard screw in points glues INTO the end of them perfectly so you have virtually endless options.
