Hey ya'll, we just got in some of the new GT traditional classics and my goodness are they bad!! Bad like a honey badger!

I just finished a video and we are currently editing it but the jist is that I shot a cinder block from about 12 yards seven times with the same arrow....7 times!! before the insert broke and point, insert and collar vacated the premises.

The shaft was left with a few minior splits about a half inch long but otherwise unscathed.

I was using 340 spine from my 67 lb longbow and 32" draw. Pretty cool. Check them out on our web site. video to be up soon. thanks, bigjim

I know where the coins from the change jar are going to be spent.

Hey Jim.

Is that price for 1/2 dozen, or one full dozen, and does it include all of the hardware?

Thanks.

Rick

Rick, I just looked....seems to be just under $100 for a dozen fletched with inserts (not the XT version )

What's the fractional outside diameter on these?

First off, the price of $55 is for half a dz. not a dz.

The .006 straightness shafts are $105.99 per dz and come with nocks and stainless inserts that will weigh roughly 80g +- depending on what spine you get...they change with spine because the insert has to be flush with the outside of the shaft therefore the outside of the .340 will be bigger thus heavier than the 600.

The .003 straightness ..or the XT's are (I believe...check our site to be sure) $119.99. They will come with nocks, stainless inserts and the ballistic collars (collars weigh apox 13 g depending on spine of arrow). collars separate are about $25 or so.

the outside diameter is from .269 - .287 / 600 spine - 340 spine

These are the toughest freaking arrows I have ever shot period !!

**************JUST A SUGGESTION ************** Consider trying a shaft one size lighter in spine than you are currently using. Even though the static spine of these arrows are the same as they are marked, the dynamic spine will be considerably different due to their extra mass.

If you don't like the heavy insert, you can use the Easton HIT aluminum inserts instead.

I normally shoot a full length 340 spine Gold Tip woodgrain with standard insert and 300g point out of my 67lb at my 32" draw cut to center longbow.

I can bare shaft the 340 trad classic fine, but it is just a shade on the stiff side. I went to a 400 spine trad classic with Easton hit insert, ballistic collar and 300 g point ...full length shaft and the arrows fly beautifully both bare and feathered.

BY THE WAY, ALL SPINES FROM 600 TO 340 ARE 32" LONG PLUS NOCK AND INSERT. Thanks, bigjim
