This year, Easton unveiled a new, lightweight arrow in its 6.5mm product line. Utilizing Easton's Acu-carbon process, the 6.5 Matrix is an ultra-lightweight design, with a carbon-fiber braid visible on the outside of the shaft. This process promises to result in a more consistent spine and weight tolerance across every production run, meaning the arrows are easier to tune, and offer better accuracy on the range and in the field. The arrows come with Microlite premium nocks, which shorten the distance between shaft and bowstring for improved alignment and reduced weight; 6.5mm inserts, with a 4X thicker shoulder adding weight front of center, where it counts; and Bully premium vanes. The arrows come in packs of six, with spine sizes of 300, 340, 400 and 500. For more information, check out eastonarchery.com. MSRP: $79.99/pack of six
