The demise of Easton Archery 

Oh please stop. It’s called competition and globalisation of manufacturing. To call this video “the demise of Easton archery” is misleading. Have a look at what the all the recurve shooters at the World Cup and Olympic events shoot. You have your place in the market, please just focus on that, focus on your customer service and move on.

With all due respect, i have Yet to see any high level pro using any other arrow than Easton X10(X10 protour for compound shooters).

Easton are pretty much the only choice for us. We shoot at a school. We have a 100% carbon arrow ban. There are no lost arrows at the end of the day. To the point. If the school finds an arrow after we have left, we instantly loose our shoot venue. We have been known to stay a few hours after shooting stops just looking for lost aluminium arrows, carbon would be all but impossible to find with the metal detectors.

It must be different in the States because all the shops carry Easton. I have been using the Axis for years and see no reason to change. They are a little more expensive but in my opinon are worth it. I am sure they cannot compete with cheap chinese shafts but I'm do not shop at a pro shop if I want cheap chinese pre cut, pre boxed shafts ill shopp online.

I think Easton is a US thing.. they seem to all use them there . I'm from Europe myself and I've never bought any eastons, there available in my local shop but I wouldn't buy them simply because there a ripoff... And there incompatibility with other tips and inserts really triggers me ..

I really like my mid-priced Easton Sonic 6.0 arrows. In America there is the concept of premium pricing (snobbery). For certain items, some buyers don't go below certain price points. For example, when buying a tennis racket, many won't consider anything below $100 msrp (although always eager to buy marked down on sale). If we need arrows for a new $1,200 bow, we are willing to pay more for premium arrows. It's largely psychological, as a cheaper brand might in fact be better.

Yep, you have an attitude! A positive attitude towards growing the sport of archery.😂😂😂

Competition is a good thing. BTW, maybe demise is a bit premature, how about "decline". They are doing pretty well otherwise (they do own Hoyt). I clicked on this video thinking they had ceased to exist based on the word usage.

My local bow shop is one of the number 1 dealers in the state and can barely keep Easton arrows in stock. Having shot a lot of the brands including specialized, customized arrow companies (I literally have at least 10 different brands set up for shooting) I find for me, my top is the Easton 4mm axis and the pro comp. In rivaled performance (hunting and target) but everyone has their own faves.

Easton have been some of the best arrows I've ever used!

Easton out sells here in the United States because it's the only arrows made in the the USA while the rest is made in Mexico, China and Asia Easton 360 spine manufacturing is fibers that are pulled instead of wrapping over a mandrel having a seam inside the shafts we look at quality control closely

Steven, here in America, Easton does offer factory made arrows and bare shafts both in the stores.

Huh? Easton is producing everything from budget shafts fully built to premium bare shafts and components..

Victory, gold tip, black eagle, Easton in my opinion are all interchangeable with every diameter gold tip arrow seam to have a weaker spine than the ones I mentioned above the Easton fmj are excellent hunting arrows so are the victory vaps they all shoot extremely well

I feel like you have gotten burned for some reason? I carry many brands and all can be good in there own way. Easton is a great company that supports archery pro shops and shooting events we are all lucky they are around. An arrow company that's giving away tons of free arrows or money towards those arrows to get their name out there are not supporting shops, this can hurt archery industry, dealers and shooting events(I can go into this more but I won't). They have every arrow type and price point you can think of from the cheapest to the most expensive arrows compared to most well known companies. You have to look at the full line up and understand the difference, And maybe this is only something a well stocked up knowledgeable easton dealer can do for you but easton can have four types of 4mm options with different specs or components that can save you $ or not. I don't know what demise you are talking about sorry

Hoyt and Easton is the same company, right? And Hoyt has got the same attitude. They are not even responding to E-Mails if you are complaining about a bow

I think this is Australia specific. In the UK Easton is still pretty much the main arrow brand. There are other options, I shoot Nano XR’s. But the X10 is the choice of top shooters here still.

I think someone's bitter over easton.get over it dude

Here in Europe the situation differs, Easton is the brand you will find at any archery store in all flavors. Goldtip is still common but only a fraction of the program and spins, Victory and fourths brand may be optional. At the line in my archery club it either Easton, Goldtip or some Chinese knockoff, which can be fine arrows when properly prepared😁

Sounds like Easton needs better marketing team. They are sinking the brand.

I reckon this video is for Easton's marketing team

Nothing against some of the other great vendors out there, but i love my Easton FMJs. I will add that I am a patriotic American but no longer insist on Made in America. This is for several reason to include a general lack of quality and increased price. Anyone should be smart enough to remain in business using principles you cover continuously. Ego has no place in success. I also believe in getting the most for my money(duh) and enjoy quality products made from smart, hard working people. It is not all sweat shops, lol. NOT bashing anyone, just sharing. I always watch your videos and learn something. They are never a waste of my time. Thank you.

In Ontario Canada Easton still are in the top arrow's used (in my area) I shoot with a group of 6-8 people and I belive there of them shoot Easton and most are hunter's Our dealer/ shop are a Gold Tip dealer with excess to other brands saling both ready made and baer shafts Would your distance away also help in the demise of Easton ? ie: shipping cost'sand other factors And now more than ever things are tight $$$$$$ Good to see you back your helper did a great job

Absolutely fascinating Steve! Please do more videos like this. I make up my own competition arrows, and was very happy to switch from Carbon Ones to VAP's, and save a few bucks too 17:49 . Buying a trad bow and not wanting to mess around fletching feathers, I recently bought two 6 arrow sets of the Black Eagle Vintage arrows, pre fletched. These are an amazing looking arrow and tick all the boxes. The only downside was you had limited stock in my spine, so had to go for two different colour schemes, as well as had to get inserts from another dealer (wanted heavy inserts). I am so happy with these arrows, and they will now be my go to trad arrows. Just beautiful! Many thanks mate!

Easton is still really big in America. I think Easton, Victory, and Gold Tip are the top 3. Impressive selection you have there. I love it. Keep up the good work.

The audio is as always pretty bad. Please do an upgrade on your recording equipment, your microphone.

Steve, all the top archers internationally use x10s or black eagles equivalent. You are right in several price categories they don’t win. Remember they are made in the USA. Different labour costs too. Do we want all Chinese bows too? Don’t agree with you in part. Comparing a bmw to a Kia. Different markets for different people. But I do like you to point out the issues and would love them to be cheaper! Good video and talking points for people

Mmmmm, sounds like what happen to The Big Three (GM, Ford and Chrysler) when the Japanese started importing to America. From my understand they thought it would be ok. Before the haters hit me, I went thru one Ford, a Chrysler and three GM vehicles over a period of twenty years. Lets throw in a Porsche and a 2003 VW GTI which turn out to be the worst car of them all. Now my entire family drives nothing but Honda and one Acura RDX in the mix. I guess that is what happens when you do not listen to your customers and or pay attention to your competition. Sounds like Easton is following the Big Three. Nice presentation, you laid out all of your concerns without screaming, cursing and describing the lineage of the people who run Easton. Thanks again for your time. Hello from "The People's Democratic Republic of Crook Count, Illinois.

Like a lot of archers who shoot target I bought primarily Easton arrows back in the day, mainly because everyone I knew did and they had the straightest arrows and at a pretty decent price. I left archery for about 15 years and when I started back in a few years ago, everything had changed. Carbon had become king and there are many more options available. Most manufacturers are providing two or three grades of their top arrows. So you can build a real nice set of arrows for half the price of a comparable Easton shaft. I just received some pre-made Pandarus Alpha X arrows and got them for a great price. They are just for practice as I learn recurve so at some point I will be buying a higher grade shaft and building my own and most likely they will not be Easton. Not when I can get a very good arrow for half the price. I just don't see the point anymore.

I think this is Australia specific. In the UK Easton is still pretty much the main arrow brand. There are other options, I shoot Nano XR’s. But the X10 is the choice of top shooters here still.

Victory, Victory, Victory!

I went from Easton aluminum to victory carbon arrows, and it was night and day difference in quality and performance .

Easton is a great company in the USA we have tons of arrows

Easton are still the most common arrow in the UK, but they've shot themselves in the foot by reducing their range. In the UK a lot of clubs (nearly all in my area) hire school fields for outdoor shooting and than means all carbon arrows are out. So you either stick with Ali or go Ali-Carbon composites. Almost everyone who was getting to longer distances seamed to go for ACC or the slightly more expensive ACG 's a few years ago, including me. They were a bit more than Ali but not ridiculous. However they've now discontinued those and if you're a recurve shooter you now have to fork out almost £500 on a set of ACE or go for the slightly cheaper (but still way more than the ACC) Procomp which is really designed for a compound bow. This is letting in the cheaper brands and judging by our club members recent purchases they are missing out on more and more sales. Madness.

Interesting, I love your takes, and it is important that these stories be considered. As a US consumer, I tried last year to MITUSA my entire archery/hunting set up. Not from a thumping perspective but to shop as local as possible. Very difficult and very expensive. 4mm Long Range Axis was the arrow system, and found the carbon to be far more brittle in 4mm, always chips on the nock ends. X Impact hasn’t experienced that issue.

In Japan we still see a lot of Easton arrows at the clubs, but Skylon is starting to come on really strong. I saw some Victory and GoldTip a few years ago but don't see them as often now. I'm still enjoying my Easton CarbonOne arrows for my compound target bow, but I think next time I will try some Skylon Brixxon or Paragon arrows. Easton is definitely not dominate like it used to be.

My testimonial: as a beginner archer, I was on a very tight budget and looked all over for the cheapest arrow. Shooting yourself in the foot: Easton and other company’s marketing is SO GOOD THAT….I did NOT want garbage…. ”GARBAGE”, inferior starter arrows. I NEVER bought any Easton due to their marketing hype of their high end arrows, (mistakenly) believe that entry level arrows were garbage. Years later, after gaining some wisdom or becoming less stupid, I realised that entry level gear is still more consistent than my skill level. Easton missed out on my business due to their marketing of their high end arrows, implying (in my mind) their entry level stuff is junk. ItsNOT just Easton, it’s every manufacturer

Where I'm from in the USA Easton is still a top manufacturer. The Easton axis is probably the most popular hunting shaft in America. The only brand that is beating them in the tournament scene is black eagle. I think the popularity of each brand also depends on who's selling the arrows. If a shop owner likes gold tip he'll have his guys use gold tip and they'll push the brand. Subsequently Easton and black eagle are my two favorite brands. The top manufacturers here in the USA are Easton, black eagle, victory, and gold tip.

I use nothing else. Every Olympic medal has been won with Easton arrows. It could be that Australia is just not important to them.

I have X-10s (bought used) and Carbon Express Nano Pro Xtreme (also bought used), which I like. However, the CE Nanos have been discontinued. I understand the distributor has an annoying habit of buying out brands and cutting their best lines. "Where good products go to die" according to a dealer I know.

I think eastons quality has gone down, I've bout 2 dozen arrows recently and out of them 3, 3 if the arrows were in spec. These where axis 5mm match grades 340 spine, currently trying out sirius archery, and waiting for my 300 RIP tko's, they'll be here in a few couple days. I build my own arrows so I order shafts only uncut. So far I'm liking the sirius archery arrows, so we'll see which one I'll be using this coming season. I will fletch them in a couple different ways and a few different weights. And see what flys best for me. But after my last order of axis's I refuse to order them again. These were all purchased this year, a dozen in January and another in March from 2 different places. I would say maybe a bad batch but getting 2 bad batches back to back I don't see that happening, it posable I guess but I won't be finding out any time soon. Also thinking of trying some gold tip Airstrikes.

Weird. I'm in Ontario Canada and the top 3 brands of arrows ( ime) is Easton, Carbon Express and Gold Tip. Casual archers ( not hunters ) I know just buy whatever is cheapest off of wish or Ali express. Cheers!

Here in the UK, we aren't usually allowed to shoot pure carbon outdoors, and Pandarus aren't generally very available.

I love my ACE but I have a set of Skylon Precium and I find I am getting the same scores from both. Skylon are cheaper and have a wider range of splines and components.

How many archers in the Olympics didn't use Easton X 10s ?

We use to bag Beman carbon and Cartel Aluminium Carbon, but years later going through the club members old collections and we found a high survival rate of Beman Flash and Cartel Triples. and some of our early best scores were shot with them.

I can assure you this boss….Easton is still Easton. When you say “the demise” of Easton it makes it sound like Easton is washed up and going out of business. Which is absolutely NOT the case. American made, durable, iconic. When you speak on Easton you better speak with respect.

Easton is still made in USA. Others are Paying someone.30 an hour. And at times they jump off the roof so you can have a cheaper arrow. Just doesn’t sit well with me. I will pay for worker to have a living wage.

I always thought Easton was a general sporting goods producer because they had baseball bats or they still do I believe gloves, helmets, hockey sticks all types of things. I always thought they were the same company, but maybe not. I would kill for a traditional archery shop anywhere near mestores are so few and far between I have no choice, but that order everything off the Internet and as beginner that can be a nightmare

I think this is not so applicable to American archery shops. Easton is definitely Top 3 in any archery shop in any state. Their carbon manufacturing process is the best. Since I switched to their 6.5 Bowhunters I have never had a bad arrow in a dozen.

If just about all the archery shops in Australia are/were Easton distributors how come (at a guess) 10-12 years ago there was a recall on a batch or axis n fused shafts and if you had some of them arrows you had to go through the one Easton distributor shop that was here, I ask because I was unlucky to have had some and had a rather unpleasant experience dealing with another shop (not you haha) who was importing the arrows through the back door kind of thing

The biggest problem we have in the UK is that most competitions will not allow you to shoot fully carbon arrows , so we have to shoot C/A arrows . Not many manufacturers produce Carbon/Aluminium arrows , and with easton now stopping the ACC series it has had a massive impact in the UK as the only option are the top of the range ACE/procom/X10 which are so expensive. So a bit of a problem specific to the UK I think , lined to multi use playing fields used to run archery competitions , so all carbon are hard to find with metal detectors. All a bit of a mess here in the UK

nothing happened to Easton. just like all other products in the world, beer, cars, camera, you name it there are dozens of options and innovations to cut into these markets. Actually, in my opinion Easton is the only company that has held true to their roots, they are still made in the US (no other company can say that, with a few exceptions) and they are the no. 1 option in the competition market.

The Easton 6.5 is a pretty good selling shaft here in the states. You can buy them in bare or pre fletched will bully vanes. Among my circle of fellow hunters we want a good shaft without all the fake silly graphics, flames, etc. Now Easton does participate in silly graphics as well, but Easton is seen as an arrow builder’s arrow that are tools, not a pretty statement. Easton’s takeover of Beman filled a niche for hunters that do not want to spend $200+ on a American made shaft.

If you can’t get in as a distributor because Easton has so many other distributors, they can’t be doing THAT bad.

Easton I believe has the best arrow. They can be more expensive but you get an arrow at least as good as they advertise. Most other you hope to be close to what they claim.

Black eagle are my favorite brand they have a huge selection

This must be in your country bc Easton is still the #1 brand in America. I'd say Gold Tip is probably 2nd.

Accmos Arrows! When you absolutely, positively have to pay your rent, EVERY month!

Aluminum carbon composite arrows bend without you knowing it.

i would love to walk into a shop like the one you have. i lived in Texas and there was no shop that was local. you dive for hours phll in they have one or two bow brands and maybe 2 arrow brands. and the name brand accessories for them. there were no trad offerings at all. now i am in alaska. they have 2 trad offerings 3 or 4 arrow offerings and 4 or 5 bow brands. you work with what they have or you go online

Easton is not easy to work.I don't know which accessories fit which arrows. It has become difficult.

You look to be a bit younger than me? But I also tarted out when it was diff to get the shaft specs one wanted. There were either "telegraph poles" from Easton available in Oz or the "knitting needles" as were the words bandied about the club. Of course these were all imported from the USA and back in the early eighties it was very expensive to import such things or anything from the USA. Asian manufacture killed them like everything.

What are the current competitors to the ACE/x10/pro comps from other brands?

It’s easy to see why you can’t carry Easton arrows. Easton is not failing. New companies are competing. Easton is still king. Nobody who wants x10s expects them to be available on the shelf. They certainly don’t want a shop making them. If I was Easton your shop would be the last place I would want my brand represented, you frankly can’t set up a bow well enough to benefit from X10s and don’t provide the customer experience of a proper pro shop from what I see in your videos. Easton isn’t declining, they are just declining business with you.

Talk about overpackaging. We need to stop that sort of waste.

I'm sure I brought my PSE thunder flight of ya dad in 1996 still got her haha

Easton is still pretty big in the US. But I shoot Goldtips.

Where I’m at in the US, the big 3 brands are Easton, Gold Tip, and Victory. Just down the road at one of the pro shops (we have two in town), you can pick up Easton products that are functionally the equivalent of everything that you’ve shown here.

Love my aluminum Easton xx75 2219 crossbow bolts!

I live in the United States and I like black eagle we do have some easton here a lot more of the other brands you talked about

easton are massive in the uk they also own hoyt

40 years ago paid less than a dollar now I see Easton arrows for over $20😢😢😢

· 🙊 😮 😲

I ended up with my uncle's old archery gear, got the longbow restrung for my use, and found an Easton Eagle 2117 in his old quiver. Super light aluminum shaft, I love how it feels to pull from the quiver and balance just feels great in my hands in ways the carbons I've played with in the stores just don't. If only he hadn't blown up a firecracker in the notch end. I went looking for replacements and found this video, and they basically don't seem to exist here in the USA either. That sucks something fierce.

As an American I buy Easton because it’s made in America.

For some reason when you even think about mentioning made in China in any of the American Facebook Archery groups you will get absolutely hammered.

Nice T-shirt brother 💪🏹

A wall of arrows, huh? Then you shall sell in the shade.

As I know there is a similar arrow as the Easton X10 produced by pandarus. Could you make a comparison of these two top of the line arrows?

For me the most important factor is price

Disappointed Easton discontinued the Hexx/Da’Torch/HexxFOC lines…the 330s are great shafts

I've been shooting for over 50 years and your right about Easton. That's all there was back in the day but I rarely see their arrows being used here in the US today.

In the UK we still see a lot of Easton, particularly aluminium arrows for beginners. As people move on we buy other brands as well as Easton.

Hey Steve. Received my Tbow (Hoyt Satori) and it's fantastic to shoot. Your review was spot on with the description and the performance. Very happy with my purchase.

Great, great video! This Easton issue is classic. I worked for a company (not archery related) that had an excellent high end quality product that dominated the industry for decades. HOWEVER, competition arrived in the market with less expensive product and a greater range of products to address a diverse market. The company refused to change, and their market share eroded . In the end the company I worked for was bought out, down sized etc. This sounds exactly where Easton is going i.e. stuck in the mud, doing the same old , same old.

Once I discovered Sirius arrows I stopped buying Easton. Ive recently bought a couple bundles of 4mm Axis for practice/TAC use but as I have the money and need Im buying more and more Sirius Orion and Gemini's. IMO theyre the toughest best shooting arrows around out of my V3X 33. I just had a flinch and shot over my target this weekend and hit a huge rock... arrow LOOKS and shoots fine. Its now a practice arrow but an Axis would have litteraly exploded and IMO FMJs are the stupidest most gimmicky concept ever cause they bend and go out of true and then they're toast. I know others make great arrows but Sirius is top of the top of the heap and theyre SUPER easy to build with the perfect FOC and overall grain weight. AXIS are not,, theyre heavy and a little delicate and hard to get good FOC numbers with.

Back in 1971-1973 I shot outdoor field and indoor target at our clubhouse. Outdoor field was a 28 target range, with ranges between 3 yards and 80 yards. All targets were plain paper targets. I don't remember if my area had 3-D targets yet. Our indoor range was set up for the Robin Hood shoot...10, 20, and 30 yards. My last meet there was the Robin Hood. I used Easton X-7 Aluminum arrows. My bow was an American Supreme 38 pound 72" recurve. No sight and pure instinctive. Just an adjustable stabilizer. I shot 89 out of 90 arrows into the little bull but walked away from the meet without firing the last arrow at the 30 yd. target. There were 2 12 yo kids, one on either side of me who totally wrecked my calm. One kid stuck an arrow to the face of his bow and blew the arrow and bow up. The other kid had a bad habit of tilting his bow toward me and his bow tip ended up between my string and bow face. After the bow blew up, on my 90th arrow, I could not hold the bow steady so I just walked out. I still won the club trophy on points but never picked it up because I didn't shoot the last arrow, I always use that analogy when something happens that I must walk away from. If asked "what did you do?", I just say I haven't shot the last arrow yet. I did very well though and won (in my class) a double, American round. 40, 50 and 60 yard outdoor shoot. My best end was the last end at the 60 yard target. I got 6 gold with the bow that was 3 inches longer than I was tall.

Hmm...I have several different arrows, I shoot Gold Tip Hunter XT's with my compound bow, and my hunting recurve uses Easton Legacy Fred Eichler's, and my little 25lb limb takedown bow uses Victory VAP Jr's...just have to play around with various shafts and component's to see what works for your bow

The Easton aluminum outside of a few cheaper Chinese brands of okay to good quality (Musen with both carbon fiber and aluminum spine, Elong, and Cupid only in 450 spine) are the only ones making aluminum arrows still that due to price for what you get mainly in field archery, 3D, and hunting (all places with the unknown in the ground) the arrows are better for the money as you get 12 of the Aluminum for the price of 6 carbon fiber arrows that are mid level price/quality. Easton now makes the only aluminum arrows that are not made in China at the moment and that is what they have going for the brand right now at least in North America and parts of Europe. Easton almost stopped making arrows during the 2010's in Aluminum but then this one school program in USA NASP where they use the Genesis Original Compound for all of them mainly stock though they can swap out the arrow rest (due to how crappy the model of brush style it comes with) that popped up in the late 2000's and more so 2010's where they had to use the Genesis Easton 1820 arrows for competition so Easton had to keep making those specific arrows or the Genesis brand would have switched to the cheaper Elong 1816 arrow from China that was also a target only arrow in a very similar style only feathers not fletching just to keep the setup the same. This move of Gensis in the NAA probably saved Easton from stopping making aluminum arrows as the Easton people decided to keep making other arrows as: Why only make for just one bow? as this would not be very cost effective, so Genesis probably saved Easton from dumping the aluminum archery division. There were others making Aluminum arrows in the past before carbon fiber like Victory with only 20__ on up, Onida had some that were only big diameter shafts __20+, Pine Ridge even had a gold color only of aluminum arrows that used what is now the carbon fiber spine chart into the early 1990's when they stopped due to factory going broke that made arrows and a few archery acsecories. Bear Archery even had some aluminum arrows in the 1950's as some of the first after Easton but stopped them after Easton started making arrows in bulk for the masses due to price for both the consumer as well as maker and that Bear could not make them in the quantities that Easton did. Then you had some brands with real fiberglass arrows like Ben Person being one of the biggest with an interesting spine chart that a few odd brands of carbon fiber still use that I could never understand myself.

That’s not the case in the US. Talking hunting arrows in my shop, Easton in my #1 arrow followed by Black Eagle. They offer just as many arrows as victory and most at a lower price point. 4 min, 5mm, 6mm and 6.5mm. They come in shafts, fletched vane and fletched feathers.

I live in America I've been to 8 different shops within a few hours of me everyone of them have loads of Easton shafts ect. Not one of them carry victory which is what I like the best so unfortunately I'm stuck shooting axis it's just easier to buy in person when I need something vs having to order off-line and wait to get my arrows. Victory rip tko definitely my favorite

Easton X10's will probably be "King of the Hill" for only a few more generations in the target archery circle. There are just too many other excellent arrow manufacturers for Easton to compete with. I live in salt lake city, utah where many of the Easton and Hoyt products are produced and I know several of their past employees. Buy Easton Arrows because many lives depend this company to earn a meager wage.

I am a 3D archer in Germany. Max distance for trad division competitions is 30-35 m here, depending on the organization. Often animals are placed between trees, without a backstop and so on. I don't know anyone shooting expensive Easton arrows and you rarely see them. For the given distances, with a high risk of arrow loss, it makes no sense shooting expensive arrows. In the German National Championships i saw a guy with a 1,7k EUR bow and skylon arrows. These Skylon are hard to beat. I measure all the spec of arrows i build and keep track of the data in Excel sheet. Last dozen Skylon Edge i build for a friend were equal within 5 lbs of spine tolerance, 3 grain in weight and had better straightness than advertised. I saw much worse in arrows for four times the price!

It is sad that USA products are not being given a chance in Australia or NZ due to where you live. PSE has kind of left in recent years despite being one of the biggest sellers of compound bows in the Australia market at one point, Bear Archery is hard to get in, Can't get Easton or Fleetwood arrows, Chinese is what you end up with in your area where 90% of the Chinese brands refuse to cater to Left hand people or those with other odd needs like shorter or longer draw then the average becuse in China they have so many people that they can have 1 million in a sport using the average just fine for said sport and they have to be doing another sport then that they can use a bigger or smaller body for.

apart from the rx7 easton doesn't have anything that interests me. Wich reminds me i'll need to put in an order soon since it can take a while to get the matching components. For favorite arrow it's a toss up between skylon & pandarus, both got great value for money and i can live with 4 weeks wait time for pandarus. I only wish carbon tech was better represented in europe, really want to try mckinney II's for fita's.

Damn, I hunt with Easton Procomps here in the states and when I bought them three years ago a dozen only cost me $279.00 USD a dozen. Easton Procomps are really $600 AUD a dozen down under?

In America, most archers compound and traditional I see are shooting easton. Many trad shooters like their goldtips though, those are a popular choice I see. I think we have more options than ever before, but Easton's reputation and olympic usage by podium archers gives them an incredible advantage. I dabbled in goldtip and liked eastons for many years as a traditional archer. Now I'm black eagle user. I think the situation may be different in Australia than here but I couldn't say. I think most of the companies sell incredible arrows but it also might be cheaper to get Easton here in the US than in Australia (exchange rates maybe). Wasn't sure what arrows you picked up for the 600 australian dollars though

You've got your "exit to the video" down. You kinda even sounded like a reporter for a second there... As always. Great video, reallt enjoy watching your stuff. Thanks

Here in western NY we have more Easton arrows then you could imagine. All models too.
