The Easton 6.5mm Bowhunter is the value 6.5mm-class shaft with a.246-inch inside diameter, taking the same 6.5mm Microlite nock and 6.5mm insert as its higher-grade siblings.
Its published spines run from 250 at 10 grains per inch to 500 at 7.3 grains per inch; it is held to a wider +/-.005-inch straightness, which is why it costs less than the Match Grade shaft of the same diameter.
The.246-inch bore uses the standard 8-32 point thread through its insert, which takes 5/16 field points, so standard broadheads fit.
