New Deep Six Products Debut at 2013 Archery Industry Trade Show
OutdoorHub 12.11.12
The January 2012 ATA show saw the introduction of an entirely new concept in bowhunting technology, “Deep Six.” Simply put, Deep Six comprises a revolutionary new insert and broadhead thread standard for hunting that enables high performance ultra-micro diameter arrow shafts that were previously the exclusive territory of outdoor tournament archery. Deep Six accuracy with low-friction penetration has become the new standard in cutting-edge bowhunting arrow products. Field results have proven so compelling, that more and more companies have expanded their Deep Six broadhead offering for the new standard. The 2013 ATA show will be replete with companies showing off Deep Six compatible broadheads and arrow shafts.
Ultra-micro diameter Easton Injexion arrows are an example of the technology in action. Before the Deep Six thread standard was introduced, conventional 8-32 inserts were too large to be used with screw-in broadheads inside ultra-micro arrows. World-class competitors shoot the smallest diameter arrows physics can afford them because they are least affected by the wind and carry more kinetic energy downrange.
“I’m stoked that the level of performance used by Olympians is now available for bowhunting with Injexion,” stated Christian Berg, Editor of Petersen’s Bowhunting Magazine. For the hunting archer, these same characteristics provide more kinetic energy density critical to penetration- by concentrating the mass of the arrow into a smaller column. Bowhunters using Deep Six technology are reporting more accurate hits to the vitals, improved blood trails, and quicker recovery. “I’ve found Injexion arrows fly truer, hit harder and penetrate deeper than any other hunting shafts I have shot,” Berg continued. “Combined with the unmatched precision of Deep Six inserts and broadheads, I’m more confident every time I release a shot.”
The Deep Six Stainless Steel component system provides bowhunters with:
- Ultra Micro Diameter: The same performance level world-class target competitors demand for downrange kinetic energy and superior crosswind performance for accuracy to the target.
- Stronger, More Precise Thread Pattern: Conventional 8-32 thread points tend to rattle loose, Deep Six provides 25% more thread engagement, to keep points secure inside the insert. Stainless steel Deep Six inserts are also 65% stronger than conventional aluminum components.
- Overbore Technology: Deep Six broadheads taper to match shaft diameter for less friction and drag during flight and throughout arrow penetration. Micro diameter shafts track behind broadhead ferrules for cleaner, friction-reduced pass-throughs.
- Focused Front-of-Center (F.F.O.C.): Higher density steel moves weight forward for genuine increases in F.O.C. and produces higher levels of accuracy.
