The 2025 ATA Show is here, and Easton has unveiled exciting new products. Justin Zar from Bowhunting.com recently checked out two standout arrows: the Easton FMJ Max and the Easton 5.0. Both arrows offer new features designed for bowhunters who demand top performance. Let’s dive into what makes these arrows unique.
Easton 5.0: The Lighter, Versatile Arrow You’ve Been Waiting For
The Easton 5.0 offers impressive versatility. Many bowhunters, including Justin, have long wished for a lighter version of the Easton Axis. Easton listened and delivered with the 5.0. This arrow is USA-made and has a 5mm, 204 ID shaft, which is similar to the Axis but lighter.
For bowhunters who prefer extra weight up front, the 5.0 provides more flexibility. Justin explained that it’s ideal for those using a 300 to 340 spine. The new design allows for greater weight up front without adding too much overall weight. If you want to run extra weight but avoid going too heavy, the Easton 5.0 is the perfect solution.
Easton FMJ Max: The Power of the FMJ, Now Lighter
The Easton FMJ Max builds on the proven FMJ design. It uses a carbon core wrapped in aluminum, just like the original, but with a lighter weight. Justin noted that the FMJ Max offers the same durability and penetration power, but with a more manageable weight. If you loved the FMJ but wanted something lighter, the FMJ Max is the answer.
The FMJ Max also features a diamond plate green finish for a sleek look. Like the 5.0, it comes in two fletching options: Blazer fletching or AAE hybrid match-grade veins, giving you the flexibility to choose the setup that fits your needs.
Custom Components for a Perfect Setup
Easton also introduced half-out inserts for 5mm arrows. These components come in 55 grain and 75 grain versions. They help protect the arrow and ensure a better fit. The half-out insert features a collar that slides over the end of the arrow, preventing blowouts.
These inserts are compatible with standard and brass inserts. This gives you more options to customize your setup, so you can achieve the perfect total arrow weight and balance.
