Title: Anyone have any experience with Yumi carbon shafts?
Post by: dennis502 on May 21, 2015, 01:47:00 PM
Has anyone had a chance to shoot the Yumi carbon shafts? I recently had a chance to handle one and it looked good in concept. The super narrow diameter screams penetration, and the outsert seemed well made and solid.

3 Rivers carries them. I can't find any other info on them. I assume they must be a new product.

I handled one briefly at the 3 Rivers warehouse and it piqued my interest. Normally outserts aren't something I want to mess with, but these looked sturdy and I think would eliminate the need to foot the arrow. They also have nock collars- again more durability.

I may order a few to play with.

I haven't had any experience with them but have Easton Injexion and Victory VAP.They are as skinny as they are,Yumi id is .165 and Injexion and VAP are .166.With that small of a diameter you have to use an outsert or like Injexion uses a Deep Six HIT insert with smaller 6/40 Deep Six points.You can't use a standard 8/32 point without an outsert,they won't fit inside the shaft.They sound like the look cool with the finished look of a lacguer bamboo with the nodes for a skinny carbon.Similar to Axis Traditional over the black Axis..Easton Injexion and VAP have a black finish.I did on my Injexion 400 was to use the VAP insert/outsert so I could use heavier 5/16 points.Those skinny shafts seem to penetrate deeper on my targets.
