Easton 5mm FMJ Match Grade – Kauffman Custom Build

Heavyweight Momentum. Surgical Match-Grade Precision.

When pursuing mature bull elk or dangerous game where penetration cannot be compromised, the Easton 5mm FMJ Match Grade sits at the absolute pinnacle of hunting arrow performance. Combining a high-strength carbon core encased in a 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum jacket, this shaft delivers elite ±.001" straightness tolerances. The slick metal jacket reduces friction through hide and muscle for unmatched pass-through power, while the ultra-tight Match Grade specs deliver laser-like downrange consistency.

At Kauffman Custom Archery, we pair Easton’s flagship composite shaft with our meticulous studio bench preparation, turning raw factory carbon into broadhead-ready precision projectiles.

The Kauffman Custom Studio Difference

Dual-material composite shafts built to ±.001" tolerances require zero-compromise shop prep. We eliminate factory assembly variables through a dedicated bench workflow:

• Static Spine Indexing & Marking: Every shaft is statically tested on our precision spine tester to identify its principal stiff plane, ensuring uniform flex and dynamic reaction out of the bow.

• Dual-End Diamond Squaring: Both ends are trimmed and precision-squared using diamond wheels, creating a flawless 90-degree seat for HIT inserts, Match Grade BAR collars, and nocks.

• Custom Hand Fletching: Shafts are degreased, wrapped with heavy-duty Onestringer custom wraps, and hand-fletched with high-profile vanes (Q2i Rapt-X or AAE Max Stealth) for maximum broadhead steering.

• Grain & Tolerance Sorting: Your entire set is weight-matched across the dozen to ensure repeatable point-of-impact at distance.
