Easton’s NEW 5MM FMJ MAX: A Fresh Take on Full Metal Jacket
Easton announced the all-new 5MM FMJ MAX, a groundbreaking addition to its renowned Full Metal Jacket Arrow lineup. Designed on a brand new platform to deliver the ultimate blend of higher velocity and FOC accuracy, the FMJ MAX takes archery’s flagship arrows to a whole new level.
Engineered for versatile, blended performance, FMJ MAX allows for faster speeds to the target or higher FOC (Front of Center) arrow builds to boost accuracy. Crafted in the USA, the 5mm FMJ MAX features a seamless, lighter Acu-Carbon core fused with a precision aluminum jacket. The synergy of combining carbon and aluminum creates greater ballistic efficiency, higher energy at impact, and increases momentum, making it the ideal shaft for taking down big game.
The FMJ MAX utilizes the new 5mm Microlite Nock System, featuring shorter ears and an improved throat design for increased forgiveness and easier tuning. Finished with a hard-anodized OD Green matte diamond plate aesthetic, FMJ MAX arrows are available in both standard and Match Grade versions and come in five spines (200, 250, 300, 340, 400)to fit virtually any bowhunting setup.
