Accuracy out to the tested distance of 100 yards was insane. At a distance of 50 yards, the shaft penetrated exactly 4 ½-inches deeper than another Easton favorite of mine - the HyperSpeed Pro. During testing, I shot the arrow into a fresh-sided Block target. When it comes to penetration, the arrow is second-to-none. This is more than enough energy to blow through any North American big-game animal and would work just fine for big-game adventures abroad. That gives me a kinetic energy rating of 78.81 foot-pounds. When shooting a 400 spine 427.6-grain 4MM FMJ through a chronograph, my average fps rating is 288 fps. The bow is set at 68 pounds and the draw length is 28.5 inches. The aluminum jacket doesn’t create friction against foam, which means the days of taking a 3D target, laying the target on its side and standing on top of it while trying to remove a shaft are over. Now that you’re ready to shoot, get ready for extreme accuracy and easy arrow removal from foam targets. From a distance of 50 yards, the 4MM FMJ penetrated 4 ½-inches deeper into fresh foam than another of the author’s Easton favorites - the HyperSpeed Pro. Allow 24 hours for the epoxy to set and you’re good to go. Lastly, use the included HIT insert tool to push the insert up inside the shaft. Do not cover the breather hole on the backside of the insert with epoxy. Use a toothpick to mix the included-with-your-arrows HIT epoxy, and then use the same toothpick to spread the epoxy evenly around the entire insert. Next, use a Q-tip saturated with rubbing alcohol to clean the inside of the shaft. Simply set the stone on a hard surface, fit the insert end of the shaft over the nipple of the stone and give it a few twists. You don’t have to grind away until loads of carbon is falling out. Use the included chamfering stone to chamfer the inside of the shaft. A quality arrow saw will hack through the aluminum/carbon blend with ease, and fitting the inserts is a simple four-step process. 4MM shafts come fletched or as bare shafts. That’s the low down, but how do they perform?įirst, the build is easy. They come fitted with Deep Six nocks and have a branded weight tolerance of +/. In 2021, new spine sizes will be available in 250, 300, 340 and 400.
Broadheads and field points need to be Deep Six branded, and most any maker of razor-sharp heads worth their salt offer Deep Six models.Įaston’s 4MM FMJ arrows are available in spine sizes of 280, 330, 400 and 460. Standard 8-32 threaded broadheads will not work with 4MM FMJ arrows. This bond holds points and broadheads snug, and the added weight of the insert and the fact that it’s inside the shaft increases FOC (Front of Center). The smaller more precise threading - 40/threads/inch - means a stronger, more seamless point-to-insert bond. In short, a Deep Six build simply means a thread pattern smaller than standard 8-32 broadhead/point threads. The HIT (Hidden Insert Technology) inserts are of Deep Six build. A pass-through results in a better blood trail, and when the shooter can recover their arrow, additional knowledge about the hit can be gleaned. It simply prevents friction from building, which allows it to penetrate deeper and provide the bowhunter with more pass-through shots. This is, again, due to the ultra-slim design of the shaft. When a broadhead-tipped 4MM FMJ impacts an animal, the shaft is able to track directly behind the broadhead. Despite the 16-mph left-to-right breeze, the 4MM FMJ’s were on the mark. The orange flagging tape shows the crosswind the author was shooting in.
