Title: Extra $300 laying around?!
Post by: elkrack on January 11, 2019, 11:19:54 PM: You can pick yourself up a dozen Easton T64 FMJs! Really cool concept but way to expensive for me! Anyone on here get to shoot these yet?

It is an interesting idea I will definitely be waiting for the price tag to come down just a touch before I think about purchasing though

For the rest of us - myself included - that's probably so far down the list of "why I'm likely to miss a shot" that you couldn't see it without binoculars.

Post by: Stein on January 15, 2019, 01:46:19 PM: That solves a bunch of problems I don't think I have. It gets pretty cost prohibitive when a broken or lost arrow sets you back $30 after you fletch and tip it. The only way that would work for me is if I could buy 6 and only use them hunting and they happen to shoot the exact same as a cheaper arrow which seems very unlikely. Even if that were the case, I think they only offer them down to 300 spine which won't work for my long draw.

Post by: highside74 on January 15, 2019, 02:08:56 PM: Only if they were unbendable and had a tracker beacon inside of them. But there's no way I'm shooting that arrow in western Washington. 5 arrow quiver full with broadhead would be $200. No thanks. My arrow has never been the deciding factor in my success or failure.

Post by: mburrows on January 15, 2019, 03:11:50 PM: You can also increase your point weight by using a heavier head or an insert and not spending $300 on arrows. This is coming from a guy that spends too much money on arrows but if they are really $300 thats a joke.

Straight from their website "New T64 FMJ combines maximum penetration with long-range accuracy." Long range accuracy, really?

Post by: J.Brower on January 17, 2019, 10:16:46 AM: In the video they posted from the ATA show the rep listed the price at 199.99 per box of 6, absolutely ridiculous. But with Hoyt selling bare bows for $1700, I’m sure there’s plenty of guys that will bite....

There’s no doubt Easton will make out fine with these !
