Easton XX75 Aluminum Shafts, Painted Crests and Turkey Feathers – Stout and Beautiful

As a hunter, I have had a long time love of a well built beefy feathered arrow with cresting. Not so much on skinny arrows, but that’s just me. The Easton XX75 Aluminum crested and feathered arrow is quite beautiful and still a mainstay in the industry and in my quiver for both traditional and compound bows.

 

I like beefy carbon shafts for distance shooting, but for hunting, I still like Easton Aluminum for value, strength and durability in the field. 

 

I took the Easton XX75’s to Africa years ago. And still hunt with them. 

 

Many of todays bowhunters are being sold on the need for speed.  As you might be aware, speed helps greatly, however it is penetration, aka arrow weight that drives your broadhead deeper in larger game, provides an exit wound, and the all important blood trail.  As a long time traditional bowhunter, I have been shooting Easton XX75 Aluminum for more than 40 years. I have 2219’s for my recurve but also use them in my compound bow and keep distances within 30 yards. 

 

These XX75’s are heavy, 575 grains with a 125g field point or broadhead to drive deep into the vitals. 

Good Hunting!
