Easton 6.5 Match Grade Carbon Arrows
Easton Archery has released its new 6.5 carbon arrow line. The 6.5 ±.001-inch Match Grade arrows stand apart for their industry-leading structural uniformity and precision tolerances.
The foundation of the 6.5 Match Grade shaft’s precise and predictable performance comes from Easton’s proprietary ACU-Carbon Uniform Spine manufacturing process, which utilizes a single-die, continuous-feed system that provides a more consistent deflection and weight tolerances over other carbon shafts on the market today.
This means the Easton 6.5 shafts offer more reliable accuracy across all manufacturing lots, so shooters can be assured that their arrows will have the same point-of-impact performance from one arrow to the next, dozen after dozen. This benefits the bowhunter with truer flight and pinpoint accuracy in the field.
6.5 Precision-Machined Inserts
Made in the USA at Easton’s Salt Lake City facility, the new 6.5 Match Grade arrows work with specially matched 6.5 inserts and nocks to take advantage of the shaft’s exacting manufacturing tolerances and to further enhance accuracy and flight stability.
The precision-machined 6.5 inserts, for example, are built with a shoulder four times larger than conventional inserts to both strengthen the point-to-shaft interface and to add critical Front of Center (F.O.C.) balance.
Microlite Nocks
In back, the 6.5 Match Grade arrows utilize Microlite nocks. Weighing 38% less than conventional nocks and featuring a shorter shank puts the string closer to the shaft for improved alignment while minimizing release inconsistencies.
