 Easton Fatboys Dear All, I have noticed that people are now starting to concentrate on setting up their bows for the indoor season. I have also been paying it some thought and it's the arrow situation that I find myself pondering over  .I have just bought some nice shinny Cartel triples and after buying four to test i'v ended up with 16, can never have to many  . My dilemma is whether to shoot these indoors this year or go back to my x7 (1914)? I'v shot better indoor scores with my old A/C/C's.I understand the benefits of the larger arrow and its well discussed here in AIUK, and was also considering selling the x7's and getting a set of Fatboy's to use as my indoor arrow. I have not come across anyone else who shoots Fatboy’s and was also wondering if you can tune a set of T6 500 spine Fboy's (as this is the lowest spine I can find) to my setup witch suits a T5 arrow? 28" Draw 37# on fingers Thanks Paul

| I gave my Fatboys to my 11yr old and got some X7's instead. I got sick of the Fatboys breaking at every indoor shoot. I think mine must have been made of chocolate If you want a better alternative try CXL2's from Carbon Express they are available in the UK and are much tougher than the FatBoys.

| Forget the Fatboys....too delicate. You can't beat X7s for straightness and durability (oh and fatness).

| X7's rock with nice big feathers to straighten the arrow out sooner. Keep em fat - Watch the 10 ring go splat!!

| I am happy shooting my 500 spine Fatboys using a recurve. Just move the sight pin 10mm to the left.They are durable. Mine have 160gn points and 5" feather fletchings. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I had my first go at setting up for indoor with my new X7's and managed to smash the nock on one and the deflecting shot it up into the 6 ring. Do fat shafts really get enough linecutters to justify these few odd very low scoring arrows? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Shoot 3 only at each target, or shoot at 3 spot faces. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Expect youre club to make you pay for youre faces, with a compound youd need a new gold every dozen or less on a portsmouth, or buy yourself centre stickers but there not cheap either. Even 3spots wear quickly with Fatboys.
