The arrows hunters and tournament archers use have stayed much the same for many years, but you will find a variety of new technological advancements designed to make arrows tougher, straighter and more consistent than ever before.
Here’s a look at the best new arrows for 2024.
Easton 4mm Match Grade Half-outs
The latest from Easton for 2024 comes with their announcement of a new line-up of 4mm Match Grade Half-outs, representing the industry’s finest precision inserts. The new patent-pending half-outs have been engineered with insights from top archers and pro shops. The result is groundbreaking designs that redefine accuracy and toughness while offering a new level of customization to the ultra-micro-diameter arrow category.
Each model in the new line of inserts incorporates a precisely machined post fitted with a protective collar. In addition, the design features a zero-tolerance alignment ring that positions the post in virtually perfect center to the shaft. The unique protective collar adds coverage over the post and the front of the arrow to increase impact protection versus regular half-out collars that only cover the end of the shaft. The new Easton Match Grade Half-out design allows for different materials to be used in specific areas which, further increases strength and provides a broad range of weight options:
- 55-grain aluminum
- 75-grain half steel
- 100-grain titanium/steel
- 150-grain full steel
The 55, 75, and titanium 100-grain half-outs are offered in five sizes to ensure a perfect fit for the entire spectrum of Easton 4mm arrows. For the stiffer shaft spine sizes, a 150-grain full-steel variant is offered for those seeking a higher level of front-of-center balance. Match Grade Half-outs are available and sold separately for archers seeking to customize and fine-tune their arrow set-ups while Easton 4mm Match Grade arrows come with the 55-grain half-outs included.
