Carbon Express Nano

[Shermo]

The new Carbon Express target arrow is set to hit or shores in the near future:D The name for the arrow is the "Nano".

This is a thin shaft, with great tolerances and includes some new features for a Carbon Express arrow.

Some specs;

Sizes: 1100 (4.9gpi) up to 380 (9gpi)
Straightness: .0015
Nock: G5 Titanium Metanock
Points: Titanium coated, glue in adjustable target point
Material: New hi-tech, hi-strength Carbon Material.


These arrows should be available in December from the various Australian Carbon Express Dealers.

[2Dogs]

These sound pretty good. Been waiting to hear the specs.

9 GPI & the same size as an ACE.

That's going to put them up there close to the X10

[2Dogs]

Heard some more

9GPI and the same size as an X10, with 130 grain point.

A tougher kind of Carbon, that is making them extremely durable.

Sounds even more interesting.

[dbjac]

pictures. STAT.

[apexrob]

Are they all carbon or alloy/carbon ?

[2Dogs]

As Shermo said, all Carbon.

But not the normal type of carbon.

[Progen]

...

But not the normal type of carbon.

Cheers to the ambiguity. :confused: :confused: :o :confused: :confused:

[2Dogs]

Well I don't know if this means anything...or if it's correct

An ACE & X10 & most other all carbon arrows, use a form of the carbon that is 20 tonne, this arrow uses 40 tonne carbon.

I don't know if this is referring to the modulus or what.

[primal]

use a form of the carbon that is 20 tonne, this arrow uses 40 tonne carbon
wow i didn't know our arrows were that heavy???? is that like the laws of general relativity being denied or what????

anyways when will they release a carobon express mini or perhaps and iNano.

or maybe a carbon iXpress Nano and Mini

[2Dogs]

Nfi ;)

[primal]

Nfi ;)
dont you mean iNfi :D

Bugger that! I thought we were talking about arrow shafts? :mad:

[hoyt for life 2]

[Progen]

Does anyone have photos of the Carbon Express Nano? Not on their website. Not even a mention. It's good that other companies are coming up with high end arrows. Like the Carbon Tech McKinney IIs. Perhaps in the next Olympics, we will be seeing some winners NOT using X10s.











ARGH!!! Can someone keep GT off my back?!! I promise to buy X10s!!! :rofl:

not a ipod you dork :rofl:

[Eberbachl]

Sounds like a sweet arrow.

Looking forward to seeing them ;)

[New Tricks]

Shermo, how much a doz?

[OldDog]

Shermo, how much a doz?
Its irrelevant to you, You dont shoot.:p

[2Dogs]

ditto!!!:thumb:

[New Tricks]

Perhaps I am completing secret training somewhere?

Like Jay Z says

When I come back wearin the 45 like Jordan it aint to play games with you

[2Dogs]

:rofl:..... but after your body melts down in WA, there will be nothign left to even pull a bow back ;)

[Jay.G]

aww first Easton then this wonder whats next...?

[Grant]

They are currently in production with an arrival date at the warehouse within the next 2-3 weeks so as Shermo pointed out we should see them in Oz in December.
Carbon Express is hoping to have the website updated with info on the Nano within a month.

[Shirt]

a) Didn't they try this before with the Medallion?

b) I really like the sound of this one... particularly the 130 grain point bit!

[2Dogs]

The medallion is nothing like this.

[Grant]

The new Nano arrow comes in 13 different spines

[apexrob]

The more I hear about this arrow....the more I like it !

[primal]

time will tell weather or not they hold their spine.

i still think FMJ navs will be my next arrow purchase.

[2Dogs]

Your a Noobie!...what do you know! ...to you "Holding Their spine" probably means making Hannah scratch her back :D

[primal]

Well alot of reports i read about mccinnies (all carbon) is that they group really good to start.... then as the months go by they group worse and worse. even young brendan wallce made that observation. if they do and the price is reasonably we might just see a flood of people using nano's.

You'll be able to see some first hand soon enough:D

well post the pictures when you do. :)

The Nano

http://www.soma-archery.com/15.htm

Found this.

These are made for Soma, by Carbon Express....just labelled different.

I'm guessing the CE version will have different graphics, & maybe a different nock.

[Jay.G]

weight doesn't look that much of a difference from the Navigators... Sure these are the same ones CE is going to release? Doesn't seem to have any indication of its made by CE, for Soma besides the name, Nano.

[2Dogs]

No I'm not sure. Will just have to wait and see.

The weight may be the same, but the size is closer to an X10.

[Progen]

It doesn't sound quite right. Although not as big a name in shafts as Easton, I should think that Carbon Express would be more likely to command a better price than to have an identically specified shaft produced by them but marketed under the Soma name. Unless of course, they're only going to target a very small part of the market. :confused:

[Progen]

You do notice that francisco's involved, don't you? :behindsofa:

Plus do you believe everything you read, buddy?

I'm going to start a post about you being the best compound and recurve archer EVER soon. Don't forget to give me negative rep for that. :rofl:

[2Dogs]

Specs are the same as what I've heard to date.

We shall just have to wait and see.

Francisco is fine. We knew him round here long before the likes of you :p :D

I think I will positive rep you now :thumb:

[Progen]

What I meant was he most probably sells them since he carries their tabs too. Nothing personal.

ps. I'll be around for a while. Get used to it. :D

[Grant]

The 2007 catalog has arrived
Will have to work out how to post pictures.
The 2007 range looks good.
Nearly all the shafts are avalilable with the new G5 meta nock system.

[Progen]

And why didn't they update their website in the process? :mad:

[2Dogs]

Cause they knew you were looking ;)

[Jbird]

People are reporting on AT that the MSRP for the Nano's is $345 US per doz.
If this is true, this product is still born.
Jbird

[Progen]

Is that for a complete set or for the shafts only? Looks like X10s are NOT the most expensive now because with that money, I can get a complete set with stainless steel points.

[Jay.G]

seems about the same price as X-10s...

[2Dogs]

I heard around the $200usd a dz, $345USD????.......nah

The Nano's they've been testing for a while have tolerances' better then the X10

Here's the spec's.

Maybe James can work out the drift to compare with an X10

[Jay.G]

Mmm the weight seems pretty good...

[Progen]

Mmm the weight seems pretty good...

Compare carefully with the Easton charts again for Navigators and X10s. A/C/Es will definitely be a bit lighter so they win in the weight department.

[dbjac]

does anyone else think 2" is a slightly large diameter for a 450 ;)

[2Dogs]

A/C/Es will definitely be a bit lighter so they win in the weight department

Idiot!...... smaller and heavier is better. ACE's suck :)

[Progen]

No wonder you enjoy being a small thick head. :D

Was only talking about weight there, 2Doggy Dogg just in case Jay.G reckoned the Nanos will get him to 90 metres at his poundage.

[Jbird]

Lancaster has them in stock now. The price is $279.00 US per dozen. Not as high as was rumored but not exactly in the same price range as Navigators either. ACE's are less and lighter. Will be interesting to see if these get any traction at this price point.

[Marcus]

No the ACE's LOSE in the weight department Progen.

[Progen]

No the ACE's LOSE in the weight department Progen. :confused:

And here it is. Another ugly 'top of the line' target arrow. :mad:

:confused:
If you are using the arrows for taget long rang i.e 90m you wont the arrow to be as weighty as possible to cut down on wind drift.

[Progen]

Was talking along the line of us poor recurvers drawing sissy poundages who need to get to 90 metres FIRST and worry about the scores later. :oops:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Jbird]

Field archers who shoot mostly in woods (95% of the ranges in the NE USA) will see more benefit from flatter trajectory than the increased weight. Besides with the ACE you can get great FOC along with the increased speed at reduced poundage and/or draw lengths. If I was spending my time shooting FITA on open soccer fields I would get X-!0's or for a budget arrow, Triples.
Jbird

[Marcus]

Triple? No way, Axis FMJ's. :thumb:

[Jay.G]

Nav FMJs.

[Ron]

both fmj's :thumb:

[ninevalleys]

lol, now i have to agree with you marcus on this lol, Triples are not such a budget arrow anymore. why though? did cartel finally realise people were buying them?

[Shermo]

The Nanos are here and look great I will post some of the photo's we have by tomorrow arvo:D The FMJ Nav's look pretty flash too.

[reversehaven]

hm. just stumbled upon this thread. Was getting ready to get my X-10s....

for 42 pounds of draw weight and gearing up to shoot a single FITA soon (haven't done it yet because i don't want to give up my amateur status in singapore just yet) would you guys think it's better to get these shafts or the X-10s in the long run? assuming money is not an issue (meaning to say that i have enough cash to buy either of the two).

[Progen]

How about I mess things up further by mentioning the McKinney IIs? :silly:

Just wait abit, till the nano's entered the market properly and shot/reviewed.

[2Dogs]

what Jay said.

[Progen]

I have a feeling it's going to go where the McKinney IIs are.

There but not quite there.

But it does have one distinct advantage of not being sold for silly prices.

[2Dogs]

McKinney 2's are nothing like the Nano.

The McK2's are a fairly fat/Light arrow...about same size as Easton FMJ.

Nano's are Skinny and heavy, Approx same OD as the X10....tiny bit fatter.

[reversehaven]

haha.. no i've heard enough about the MCK2 to not want to buy them. Hm. though right now it's between the carbon express nano. since it's a new product, i guess i'll do as you all said. wait till it's been properly used and reviewed and been praised to the skies before i consider buying.

maybe i'll hold back buying the best arrows. though i have the cash. after all, i'm not exacly shooting at a international level yet. the best arrow shafts in the world won't make much difference, i guess.

it'll make you feel cool though.

[ninevalleys]

lol no it wont :p, you jsut realise that you shoot the same with the best gear on the market and figure out that every probelm is yours :p (i know by experience)

NV

[Progen]

it'll make you feel cool though.


MEGA WORD!!!

And we all know that feeling cool equals to shooting cool too. :thumb:
