I dont know who you talked to at black eagle but this is not correct. It is true that the spynal tapp shafts is the same carbon composite as the zombies but again its the only 26.5 in arrow on the market. It also has tighter specs because we make them that way though our testing and sorting process.xcaliber wrote:When arrows are sorted to a straightness tolerance, that is the maximum variation allowed. Black Eagle has assured their dealers that the Zombie Slayer's are the premium crossbow arrows, and they would not make a special line for any individual supplier. The graphics are the only exception.
MY shop can produce Spynal Tapps and Tactical Tapps that are guaranteed to be +/- .001 or better, +/- .0025 on spine deflection and +/- 1/4 grain on weight variance.
Tactical tapps are a completely different and unique arrow unlike any other arrow black eagle makes for anyone. It is our proprietary arrow made to our specifications just for South Shore Archery Supply. So no the graphics are not the only difference.
We have tested every arrow that has hit our shop for the last 12 years. So I can tell you with very high authority and backed by the knowledge gained testing 100s of thousands of arrow shafts there is not a more consistent shaft on the market then Tactical Tapps. To date we have only had to throw away maybe two or three out of a couple of hundred Tactical Shafts we have tested. Black Eagle is doing an exceptional job for us in building this shaft.
So well that I am considering having them build a completely different shaft to replace our standard spynal tapps.
The Tactical Shaft is slightly stiffer then Spynal Tapps/Zombie Slayers and the REAL carbon over layer adds an additional level of consistency.
I will at any time put Tactical Tapps up against any arrow on the planet for long range shooting. Fact is our custom Spine and Weight matched arrows are the only arrows on the market that are guaranteed accurate at 100 yards or we replace them.
There isnt another builder in the world that is able to make this guarantee!
