Cool calculator!! Thanks for the link! Sounds like pretty positive experiences with these shafts & I do like the "made in the USA" thing also!
I expect to have some Trad Only shafts on order in the very near future.

No pun intended and apologies in advance. I just couldn't help myself.

Remember with the calculator: garbage in = garbage out!
So be sure to put in the proper values, especially the center-cut option is important.

As for arrows: I have very good experiences with Gold Tip traditionals as well.

I don't care for them Rando. I bought a half dozen and they all broke. It was weird, they broke in the last eight inches or so on the back? It might have been a bad lot? I've got Gold Tips that have gone through the EXACT same shooting and they're still with me.

Unfortunately I wont buy them again.

good info

took me awhile to go to carbon but I love them.  I've only shot rhinos and axis although I hate the price I love the performance.  I use a 100 grain insert and a trick I did when I got my first carbons where to leave them full length, get a few pieces of clear plastic wrap.  Place the wrap over the end of your shaft and then push the insert in.  Since your only tuning the wrap will keep the insert tight enough to shoot for awhile and will allow you to pull the insert and cut the shaft until you get the right length and you can glue the insert in.  Just food for thought.

Just another one of the great things about the Easton Traditional Only shafts. You can use hot melt glue and the inserts stay in for good or can be easily heated and pulled out. No epoxy needed for these.
