Alloy Carbon
A/C® Super Slim
Legendary alloy/carbon performance in a small diameter package. Super Slim provides pinpoint accuracy, downrange energy, and exceptional
velocity—the hardest-hitting shaft in the Easton line.
Exceeds Industry Standards
A/C® Super Slim Components
X Nock
• Straightness: ± .002" guaranteed
• Weight tolerance: ± 0.5 grains
Sizes 500, 400, 340, 300
Small-diameter and
combine with A/C ® construction
for deep penetration and superior
groups—without sacrificing arrow
speed. HIT inserts align the
broadhead shank directly with the
shaft wall for easy broadhead setup.
The bow’s power is focused into
the small diameter for maximum
kinetic energy.
• X Nock—Installed
• HIT Insert, chamfer stone,
installation tool, HIT
epoxy—Included
• Points and broadhead adapter
rings—Sold separately
• High-strength carbon fiber bonded to a precision 7075 alloy core tube
• Black, micro-smooth 9-micron finish

Penetration Rating is a simple measure of hunting
performance when comparing arrow shafts of equal
spine (stiffness). The Penetration Rating is calculated
by taking the weight of the shaft in grains-per-inch
(gpi) divided by the frontal area of the shaft in square
inches (gpi/in 2 ). Penetration Rating is an effective
measure of the penetrating ability of a hunting
shaft, taking into account the diameter and weight
relationship. Laboratory testing shows the higher the
Penetration Rating, the deeper the arrows penetrate
into test materials.

Super Slim & A/C/C® Construc tion
Easton’s exclusive process ensures a strong bond of the carbon fiber to the
alloy core.
The precision inside diameter and
strength of the aerospace alloy core tube
(0.008" wall) allow components to be
precisely installed inside the shaft.
Layers of unidirectional carbon fibers and epoxy-resin
matrix offer unmatched strength when bonded to the
precision alloy core. A smooth 9-micron finish allows
easy removal from targets.
• Straightness: ± .002" guaranteed
• Weight tolerance: ± 0.5 grains
