Field notes

This is the 500 spine of the Easton 6.5mm Match Grade, a 6.5mm class (.246 in ID) shaft with a.246 in inside diameter. In this spine it weighs 7.3 grains per inch. A 500 spine sits at the light band, for lower draw weights and youth-to-adult setups.

Because the bore is.246 in, it takes the 6.5mm Microlite nock (8 gr) and the Easton 6.5mm insert (25 gr), and it threads to the 8-32. Those do not change with spine; only the GPI move across the table.

Spine is a starting point, not a guarantee: a 500 from one brand can differ from another. Read your exact draw weight and arrow length on the maker chart or bare-shaft test before cutting a dozen, and keep the finished arrow above the 5-grains-per-pound floor.
