Introducing Maxima Photon SD hunting arrows, a new premium arrow offering with optimized construction that generates a strong, accurate and deadly small diameter hunting arrow from Carbon Express. Structured to offer a terminal blend of strength, integrity, speed and tunability the .203 (inner diameter) Photon promotes hyper accuracy at all ranges, reduced wind drift, enhanced penetration and does not require special insert systems thanks to an aluminum half-out insert design. Fabricated from a custom weave of 30-ton carbon the Carbon Express Photon boasts 25% faster recovery out of the bow than comparable models. When combined with patented Tri-Spine Technology this exclusive blend of materials and construction generates up to 4X the accuracy of traditionally-constructed single spine arrows. The aircraft-grade 7074 aluminum premium half-out insert system comes with a standard threaded 21-grain insert that offers the ability to add weight to customize F.O.C. to each user’s preference, tune, and arrow balance priority. On the nock end, each arrow is furnished with ultra-strong Bulldog nock collars designed to amplify strength on each arrow’s back end and protect the precision-constructed Launchpad nocks. Launchpad Precision Nocks control the arrow release and integrated shaft alignment additional consistency and enhanced downrange accuracy. An optimized mass weight carries energy proportional to its speed to deliver exceptionally fast flight without sacrifice to penetration or accuracy. Constructed with Carbon Express’s exclusive Tri-Spine technology with 360-degree spine consistency to stabilize and maintain how the arrow flexes in flight. Like all arrows in the Carbon Express Maxima series arrows, the Photon’s Red Zone center section helps to generate faster recovery out of the bow, while the distal ends remain stiff to contain arrow oscillation and control the enemy of hyper-accuracy, Dynamic Spine. This means greater accuracy at all distances, especially from broadhead-tipped arrows. Each set is sorted & matched by spine and weight for best-in-class consistency with a spine sorting tolerance of +/- .002 and weight sorting tolerance +/- 1.0 grains. Further enhancing arrow-to-arrow consistency each shaft is laser checked for straightness to a remarkable 1/10,000 of an inch! Available as 12-pack shafts or 6-pack fletched arrows fletched with 2-inch Quadel Raptor X vanes in bright white and smoke gray. The striking design of this new arrows series is as bold and eye-catching as their performance. As an additional bonus, users will be able to better diagnose the location of their shot thanks to the white background of each shaft’s background art.
