The Z - Bare Shaft
The Z was developed with a focus on delivering increased speeds without the challenges associated with the run of the mill 4mm arrow. The Z is purpose built to offer improved durability, arrow recovery, and consistency to bring a lighter weight shaft to the Contact Archery line-up.
Custom Cutting and Squaring
The Z can be cut to length. All custom cut arrows are squared prior to shipping.

Product details
Materials
The Z is a full-carbon shaft constructed with a blend of fibers. It brings decreased weight without sacrificing durability or forgiveness.
Flight And Ease Of Tune
The size, density, and tolerances of this shaft make it an easy tuner.
By utilizing an advanced composite layup post shot oscillation is reduced.
Best Fletching Practices
For field points and more compact mechanicals 3 medium height or 4 low profile vanes work well.
For fixed heads 4 medium height or 3 high profile vanes will provide sufficient stability.
For extra-large and wide cut fixed heads 4 high profile vanes are recommended.
For best performance always fletch at a 2 to 3 degree helical.
Component Details
The Micro-Cap is a one piece outsert/collar hybrid. It covers the first .875 inches of the shaft and uses the larger diameter collar to provide increased durability over convention internal fit outserts. By passing the threads into the shaft leverage is also decreased resulting in an even stronger front end.
The titanium component (Grade 5) weighs 54 grains and the Aluminum (7075) weighs 34 grains.
All components recieve standard 8-32 threaded points.
DURABILITY IN A FULL-CARBON SHAFT
By increasing the amount of material used, wall thickness and durability are maintained without the weight penalty.
TIGHT TOLERANCES & LESS VARIANCE
The techniques used in rolling the shaft minimize the variance from the mandrel to the finished product. Resulting in a more consistent shooting experience.
