Anyone gone to the super skinny shafts with their trad gear? Trying to talk myself into going to them along with some heavy heads to give extreme FOC a try.

There are guys who have. I use FMJ’s, which are skinny, but not micro skinny. Since switching to the FMJ’s, I have noticed much better penetration on critters, and because of the way they are built, my FOC is not quite as high as when I was shooting the all carbon shaft.
If go to a skinnier shaft with high FOC (assuming the setup is well tuned), I can’t help but think you will end up with better penetration on critters!!!

I tried them with compounds and didn't like them. Too hard to pull out of 3D targets. I get passthrough shots with standard shafts so it's not a concern for me.
Plus, I didn't like the outserts which to me negated the thin shaft and cause the difficulties removing them from the target.

I shoot them, and I love them.
I'm shooting the Widowmaker Smash .300's (Out of Australia).
I smashed this squirrel against a tree with one tipped with a VPA SGT earlier today.
16 yards, straight through, and smashed hard against the tree.
No damage to the arrow.
I won't shoot anything else, unless I'm forced to for some reason.

Also shoot Black Eagle X Impact, super skinny, very tough, easy to tune, great success with them...they're just not Widowmakers
Lancaster will sell Black Eagles individually, so easy to give them a try
The outserts are 11/16, and I use 11/16 points, but that's all right behind the broadhead, so no big deal.
Toughest, and most consistent in spine & weight of any carbons I have ever used

I just started using the GT Kinetic Pierce with the 20 grain Easton deep six insert. You can tap the back of the insert (5-40 thread) and screw in the GT fact weights for as much FOC as you want. Also gives you the option to add or remove weight for testing even after the insert is glued in.
