Right, so SkyArt released their new arrow for 2011 a while back, but I haven't heard anything about it really.
The B92 is apparently lighter than the X10 (heck, even lighter than my 620 ACEs, which is a feat in itself), but they're also thinner - ish.
Josh (josh77) measured his 600 X10s for me, and the numbers we got indicate that similarly spined (600 X10 compared to a 650 B92 according to each manufacturer's arrow recommendation chart) SkyArts are thinner-ish than the X10s. With thinner-ish, I mean that the X10s are barreled with a minimum diameter of 4.50mm and a maximum of 5.02mm, whereas the data I've found on the B92s indicate a 4.65mm parallell shaft.
The B92s are very, very slightly (hardly) cheaper (?12/dz) than the X10s, but as they've not really been proven as competitive arrows, is there anyone who would buy them? I'd personally love to give them a go, but would one risk hundreds of pounds on an arrow that might be, quite frankly, rubbish?
What's the thought on the B92s? Isn't one of the reasons why the X10 is barreled to increase the spine of the arrow? How is it that SkyArt's managed to create a parallell shaft with similar spine/thickness?
I'm curious to know what you guys think!
