I agree massbow ! Just trying to figure out if I would benifit using zombies instead of my BEE arrows . Not many members talk about using them on here .

The Executioners are a 300 spine and the Zombies are a 225 spine. The Zombies are 0.1 gr heavier than the Executioners. The weight is insignificant but the spine is not. What that higher spine will get you is better fight at extended ranges and a more durable shaft. All shafts will eventually lose spine and will bend with use starting at the front. Just as an example shooting targets like the Spyder Web at close range will make things worse because it decelerates the arrow more abruptly.
For hunters the Zombies are unnecessary. The lowly 0.030" Executioner will shoot one inch groups at 40 yards assuming good assembly, good broadhead and good tiller.
If you are an arrow junkie get the Zombies.

Thanks Boo for the info . I sorta thought Zombies being stiffer would make indexing the spine not as critical and let me use all 12 of a dozen without having to lay out a few that wouldn't group like the rest .
