4mm VS 5mm VS 6mm

Has anyone had issues with the Easton match half outs, that have the integrated collars on either the 4 or 5? I’m testing them on my 5.0s, they seem pretty well built.

I’ve put them in some arrows for clients over the last few years and I’ve got them in a set of my own arrows. They’ve been awesome.

I still think 4 and 5mm arrows are solutions looking for a problem. Gold tip hunters or Easton 6.5 with brass inserts are more than adequate for hunting. It’s sort of like rifles. Do you really need anything more than a tikka t3x, Harris bipod, and SWFA optic, for the money? It’s a free country, and you can do whatever you please. But the overwhelming majority of people don’t need anything more than to be effective hunting.

I’m a 4mm guy here in Wyoming we always have a breeze lol. Not sure how much difference it actually makes but the only downfalls I’ve encountered is not a good solid lighted nock, and kinda pia for fletching.

Favorite 6 mm I ever shot were the old acc pro hunters. It took me a long time to go through 2 dozen of them. Most of the 6’s I’ve messed with lately have been lighter and thinner side walled than I want to deal with

I wish they would bring those back. The AC construction is the most consistent arrow I've ever shot. Just purchased the parallel pro to try. Don't really like the 4mm but the AC is the best I've shot

I just got back into archery and my biggest take away is that 4mm arrows are absolute penetration monsters with field tips on foam targets. I found myself buying a new target within days of getting 4mm arrows. The smaller shaft almost requires an arrow puller.

I've seen lots of "issues" mentioned over 4mm, like components breaking, etc., but I haven't broken any more and probably less than the maxima red sd's I was shooting before. I mean if you shoot a rock or your arrow doesn't pass through, the animal is probably breaking it regardless of the type.
The only issue I've had is pulling them out of a bag target due to the outsert.

I have stuck with the 6mm diameter since my reintroduction to archery in 2012. I purchased Easton ACCs. Picked up a couple dozen of the Epic series of arrows and now the Sonics. I like the diameter, performance and standard inserts
