Easton announced the lightweight 6.5 Carbon Matrix will now be available in a 250 spine size.
The market has seen a trend toward stiffer arrows to match today's powerful bows. The 6.5 Matrix 250 spine will match the needs of bowhunters seeking a stiffer arrow. The 250 will also be popular with longer draw lengths archers, and higher FOC arrow setups.
The 6.5MM Matrix shafts use Easton’s USA-made Acu-Carbon giving them truer flight and pinpoint accuracy in the field. Acu-Carbon is a continuous-fed, single-die manufacturing method that results in the most reliable tolerances and eliminates the need for the spine-alignment and weight sorting.
Matrix is available in a ±.003” straightness or the ±.001” Match Grade. Both models include the 6.5 Insert with a 4x larger front shoulder to boost FOC and add strength.
Lighter Acu-Carbon Uniform Spine Process boosts speed and adds accuracy. Microlite Nocks shortens the critical distance between the shaft and bowstring for improved alignment and reduced weight. 6.5MM Inserts strengthens the broadhead/arrow interface and boosts F.O.C. MSRP per half-dozen: $79.99 (standard) $99.99 (Match-Grade) For more information on the Easton 6.5 Carbon arrow line-up, see your local archery pro shop or visit eastonarchery.com
