[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 491363, member: 29115"] Hi Konrad, Once again, surprising information. I have a couple of quick points on the new [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Easton FMJDG's. As long as the new shafts are 11/32's we have no issues because we could use Firenocks or the standard PSE Nocks, but I would lean toward the Firenocks for a number of reasons. The work fine and present no problems with the anti-dryfire mechanism. A quick item to help everybody cheat a little when doing decimal to fraction conversions or the reverse: If you go to your "Google Browser" and go to the search bar and type in any decimal or fraction and just hit enter, it will instantly do the conversion for you, so it doesn't take any math skills to figure out these sizings. Sorry for the deviation Konrad, I was trying to help some of the non engineering types that may follow this thread. The new shafts that Easton will be producing only has one possible flaw that may be a problem. We need them in the 26.25 length, so do you know if they will produce them as full length shafts that can be cut to length or will they only be available in the lengths you specified? If you don't know, don't go crazy chasing an answer, I'll know the answer probably by tomorrow late afternoon. I have some TAC shaft testing scheduled with somebody who might know something about these new shafts. Super 91, I think the .300 is a spine deflection measurement, but no necessarily a fixed diameter measurement. I thought a manufacture could potentially obtain a given spine rating on arrows of different diameters, such as the current [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Easton FMJDG's which can be ordered in either .250 or .300 spine, but until this new news they were all 9/32 diameter shafts. The weight per inch was much different between the 2 shafts sizes, due to the thickness of the shaft walls, which is where the extra stiffness in the spine comes from. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] The way the N-Fused Carbon Core is created is different than the PSE Woven Filament Shafts, but it's similar in the respect that it's designed to be extremely strong and durable. Another key difference is the straightness factor of the Easton Shaft at .002 measured end to end, which no other manufacture uses as stringent a measuring system. Also keep in mind that these shafts are a metal outside with a carbon core. This is where the extra weight comes from that makes them usable for the largest big game animals. As we know, when it comes to the very best of the best in competition arrows .001 is as perfect as has ever been produced, so we are bordering super high grade competition arrows with these new offerings. Although I'll finish testing and analyzing the PSE TAC arrows until we know everything about them, I will switch in a heartbeat to the arrows we're talking about if I find they become available in the 11/32 size in a full length version. There's a high probability Easton may be looking for some outside field testers. Any volunteers???? Jon [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
