Super Fat Carbons

[Schme1440]

I heard that one of the top us Archers has been testing some new carbon arrows. Apparently they are the equivalent spine and diameter of a 4012/13/14 X7. Has anyone else heard of this? My source is very reliable.

The Gold Tip 30X is the largest diameter carbon arrow currently made with an outside diameter of 26/64 and was designed for X shooting at Vegas and is not FITA legal.

The arrow on the left is a 30X.
These are similar in size to a Doinker stabilizer.

I was gonna say I thought 2315 was the biggest allowed?

Only in FITA.
NFAA/IFAA has no size limit

I think they should rename these arrows the Vegas Busters cos thats where we know they were designed for.

I wonder if Merlin will be allowing them at their Vegas shoot :duck:

Well technically its a GNAS shoot so they wont be legal. Las Vegas is different because of the organisation that run's it.

I'd love to rock upto a club night with them!...aaaaaaahahaha

I wonder when people will say that an X10 is more accurate. This size arrow just takes up a whole lot of space on the target. Awesome.

 

[Schme1440]

These arrows will only ever be shot off a recurve so it doesnt matter. I doubt they would be anygood over 18mts. Still I may buy a set in Vegas if they are there. Not to shoot just to have a set. Could be funny to rock up to a prtsmouth with a set of those arrows and see what people say :raspberry

Could just use them down the club for a laugh. Every one is astonished by the size of my Fatboys. Whould love to see the look on their faces if I rocked up with those bad boys.

Hello Stevie,

I can answer the question on the size of arrows, in terms of Easton aluminum arrows a 2315 is the max size allowed by FITA. 2312, 2314, 2315 are all legal but the 2317 is larger than the FITA rule of 9.3mm diameter

Best wishes, Mark

All the best compound archers at my club shoot X10's or ACE's off spring steel arrow rests.

NFAA/IFAA has no size limit

"Only in America" ......

No size limit at our shoot! (It's non record status)

 

[Marcus26]

"Only in America" ......

No, IFAA is an international field association. In fact I believe it's very popular in Europe.

if there is no size limit at the merlin vegas then i could ressurect my 26xx. I do hope that you are not going to shoot desperateley big arrows just to win Ben ?
