Traditional only by 3 Rivers

Does anyone shoot these arrow? Thoughts? I'm thinking about trying them out. Just found out my Gold tips that I uses sometimes is changing the 7595 to 340 spine. Actually already changed.

I shoot them. They work great for me. they are a little less tough than GT in my opinion. They are a bit lighter too.

I've never shot them, but have considered ordering more than once. They're made by Easton for 3Rivers if I'm not mistaken so they should be a quality shaft.

Hummer3T · March 29, 2015, 09:01:00 PM

was also wanting to try

S.C. Hunter · March 29, 2015, 09:31:00 PM

I know that easton makes them and they are a quality arrow. Just wanted some personal experience in using them. I believe Dale Karch of 3 Rivers uses them with 4 fletch but that may have changed by now. Thanks still looking for input.

The deer and turkey around here absolutely hate them! Best carbons I have ever used.

Butchie · March 30, 2015, 08:01:00 AM

I have used them for the past 5-6 years now with no complaints whatsoever...accurate & durable.

I don't do a lot of stump shooting but would be plenty tough for that especially with a collar or aluminum footing added. I have had shafts break on the last 3 bucks I've shot with them. All 3 were complete penetration but not complete passthrus. Given the end results, I was happy to accept the sacrifice those arrows made!

Chain2 · March 30, 2015, 08:49:00 AM

I just started using some. They are lighter than GT 75/95's and they fly well. I am shooting them 32 1/2" with 350 up front out of my Sasquatch #55 @ 31" and they fly great. I know it isn't a great indicator but they penetrate the target just like the 75/95's with, I think, a better trajectory. 300 spine of course. I like them.

I tried some 600s on my 38# bow. I put an arrow into a soft 2x4 target frame at ~35yds. The next time I shot that arrow it blew up off the string. Fortunately, I only sustained a cut on my bow hand, but it scared me enough that I got rid of the others. I know, I should have flexed the arrow before shooting to listen for any cracking, etc. I went back to aluminum arrows - if they're damaged, its pretty obvious.

olddogrib · March 30, 2015, 12:52:00 PM

They have been my arrow of choice for several years. No complaints and I think the listed straightness is a bit better than the GT trads...not that I shoot well enough to notice, lol! If a .006 bothers anyone, I don't bother but it's been suggested that most of that is runout at the ends and you can do your cutting at both ends and usually better that significantly.

Dick Langer · March 30, 2015, 02:47:00 PM

I have used them for 3 or 4 years now very good.

Doc Nock · March 30, 2015, 04:36:00 PM

Question: When were 7595's NOT .340????

Ever since I was gifted a dozen for my SAS Longbow, they were .340 on their site... and that was 2 + yrs ago???

Cornfused... :0

Love them....the 400's seem to tune true to my bows when every other shaft I try fails.

cacciatore · March 31, 2015, 01:50:00 AM

They are good shafts and fly and tune very well,I just don't find them as though as the Eritage,both for hunting and roving.
Also if they made their job on the wild boars some broke on heavy bones and rocks.

JohnV · March 31, 2015, 10:26:00 AM

I shoot 300's and 340's. They shoot and tune well. Not the most durable shaft. The ends will splinter if you hit rock or metal.

Tedd · March 31, 2015, 10:40:00 AM

I use the .300 with a set-up similar to Chain2. My bow is 57@31 drawn to 32". I use the full length (32-3/4") (they are not 33" as advertised) shaft with 265 grains up front. It's pretty much the only shaft long enough so I don't have many other choices. I have killed 2-3 deer with them and the 3 blade VPAs. Penetration is incredibly good. Straightness and consistency is excellent. I think I only ever had one dud that I shot off into the wild blue because it wouldn't fly. There are tougher shafts. And at my draw length tuning these is finicky. And I can't cut the shaft so it's a challenge. Lately the 250 grain VPA 3 blade with the stock aluminum insert is perfect.
I like AD tapered shafts but getting good ones and long ones is a problem so I plan to use the .300 Three Rivers.
Big Jim might be getting the Gold Tips in longer length someday. I don't know if I can use the .340 but I will try them when he gets them. The Gold Tips do seem a bit more rugged.

Sam Mashni · March 31, 2015, 03:15:00 PM

I use the 400 shaft cut to 28" for my 49#@26"" longbow with 250 gr up front total wt is 550 gr. i use the 340 full length for my GM 2 53#@26" total wt 650 gr and also cut to 28" for my 53#@26" 60" recurve with BM CE limbs. Total wt 710 gr. all are with 5" LW FLETCHING. I have found them to be very tough, fly well and tune easily. I bare shaft and paper tune.

Sorry I took so long to get back. Just got in from work. I just looked on 3 rivers site and it still shows the 7595 as a .300 spine. Not sure if it is accurate?

Mike Yancey · April 01, 2015, 09:00:00 PM

I've killed a bunch of stuff with them, I bump up the weight with the weight tubes.
