Eclipse or Platinum Plus

I'm going to be shooting short ranges: mainly 10-15m, up to 50m max. At my spine 2114, the X7 Eclipse and the XX75 P+ (or the cool firey Tributes) weigh the same but the Eclipse is twice the price. Worth it or not?

Go for the Platinum Plus

The X7 is stronger than the Plat+(105,000psi vs 96,000 psi according to the Easton arrow catalogue). I guess this makes the X7 more resistant to bending. In my opinion its guaranteed straightness and weight tolerances don't matter, you're looking at 0.001" vs 0.002" and +/- 0.75 vs +/- 1. Ridiculously tiny margins. I wouldn't say it's worth the price if it's twice as expensive from where you're buying it from. That's my view! :poulies:.

I think it might be worth checking out the Easton Gamegetters, available from Bowsports for ?27 for a dozen shafts, only available in 2016, 2117, 2315 though.

If you can afford them then get X7s they are a better arrow for indoors.
For outside any of the alu/carbons ACCs etc would serve better than Ali.
one of our club members was using Ali's all last year then he swopped to ACCs recently he got his 2nd class in two weeks.
