Day Six Arrow Review And Test

I got a batch of full length Day Six Arrows to build and shoot. I build this batch of arrows not using my normal process to see how they shoot with a very basic build.
I cut, insert, weigh and shoot the arrows with broadheads to see how easy they tune!
Garrett Weaver from On Point shoots the Day Six Arrows for a Test and Review.

I planned on switching over to day 6 arrows for the 2020 season, so I'm happy to see a review on these arrows. I plan on using the 300 spine & definitely excited about the super thigh walls of these arrows, that's what attracted me to begin with. Strength and durability especially for the amount of $ we all as hunters invest in our equipment I want an arrow well made that's not going to break the bank like the bishop arrows would, $1000 for a dozen arrows c'mon now. I doubt professional archers aren't spending that kind of $ on a dozen arrows let alone a hunting arrow.

[@garrettweaver6605]

Yeah when people ask me about Bishop heads, I usually say suckers are born everyday. Let me know how you like the Day Sjx setups. Best of luck to ya.

[@michiganwoodsman2199]

Excellent video. This deserves more views and likes. Excellent 🏹 arrows and system.

[@SheepdogConservation]

Even though you brought your own target I like how you start the video at the range saying "I'm going to shoot some broadheads down range" right infront of the no broadhead sign! The extra level of detail put into these arrows is enough to make me want to put in an order soon!!

[@garrettweaver6605]

Lol I know I’ve had a good laugh at that since it was brought to my attention 😂

[@ianmcgaughey1]

I saw that too. Found it funny

[@ericwarren0015]

Those are a damn nice arrow! Great review Garrett. Also I got all caught up on your Podcasts. Took me just over a week to listen to them. Looking forward to more.

[@garrettweaver6605]

Dang that’s quick! Thanks for listening man👊 I’ve got some great episodes planned as well

[@bob5331]

Lol it says no broadheads right above your head 😂😂😂. Love it. Good review on one arrow group

[@samuelcottril525]

I like how you start out " alright I'm gonna shoot some broadheads here" right in front of the sign saying no broadheads lmao

[@garrettweaver6605]

I always take it as a suggestion 😂 If you bring your own targets you can shoot broad heads 🤘

[@jamesbrace3212]

What about the no broadheads sign behind your head?????🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 Great review!!!!

[@garrettweaver6605]

Lol just details!!! That’s for shooting into their targets I bring my own

[@LifebytheHorns406]

Garrett,Can you list the components of the Easton Axis build you do? I am leaning towards the Day Six, but after watching the Born and raised arrow torture episode, saw that you had almost the same penetration with the Axis as with the much heavier Day Six. What do you use for footers with the Axis and how do they spin compared to the Day Six? Is the overall quality similar?

[@garrettweaver6605]

The penetration was due to the footer opening a larger hole for the rest of the shaft to go through. My arrow build was the standard hit insert with the elk river footer which is 14gr. I shoot a 124gr. Head. They both spin really well. Bryan the owner of Day Six personally spin tests every arrow he sales before he ships it out. So I think you’re getting more attention to detail than the mass produced ones.

[@Lucas_Palmer_bownerd_engineer]

Hey Garrett thanks for the video. I am currently looking at building a new arrow I am shooting a mathews vxr28 70# with 28.5 in draw. I believe I have narrowed it down to day six with the 150grain SS outsert or some easton axis with ethics archery adjustable outsert with sleeve in all SS. The axis arrows would come in around $180 a dozen where the day six are closer to $210. Since you have used both axis with footer vs daysix what is your opinion of durability and grouping at range 70+yards? Is the little bit more money for the day six worth the price? Thanks again!

[@garrettweaver6605]

I think you’re getting a tougher shaft with the Day Six, and the component system that’s paired with it is extremely durable. I shoot my day six extremely well. Honestly, both are great setups, but day six is higher quality.

[@milkrvr4088]

AAE hybrids usually stick with anything it’s the pro hunters that you need the primer pen also I weighed a dozen rip tkos all put together and they were all the same grain weight we have the same scale so I am not sure the weight is good on those also my nexus arrows were all within 1 grain of eachother I haven’t seen a premium arrow with more than a grain across a dozen I do want to try the day six arrows I’m doing the vap tko elites and the nexus arrows and I’m never happy so it’s black eagle or day six next then maybe some bishop if I hit the lottery or win a contest 😂

[@garrettweaver6605]

Lol the bishop prices are ridiculous

[@joshyoder4076]

Curious to see how much more durable these are VS axis with hit inserts and footers.

[@garrettweaver6605]

I’ve tested these vs them and the axis with footers was just as strong or stronger

[@eriklarson84]

Garrett, what arrow will you be shooting for the 2020 season?? Sticking with DaySix??

[@garrettweaver6605]

Always changing! So as I read your comment I’m actually playing with a new build. It’s the black eagle rampage with 175 grain point weight. 19.5% FOC at 538 grains

[@jeffersoncroci9406]

@@garrettweaver6605 how do you like the black eagles? I am thinking about doing a similar set up with BE X impacts. Also, what is your draw weight and length?

[@redrider419]

Do you fletch with any helical or offset? Nice review!

[@garrettweaver6605]

Offset but I may start using more helical

[@davidself3092]

Am I wrong or did he say that he spun every arrow himself and they all look the same and then at the range he said he only spun 3 because they spin all the arrows before shipping?

[@garrettweaver6605]

Possible, it’s been so long since I uploaded I don’t remember what I did 😂 But, I do spin test all arrows still to this day. But most likely for the video I just did a few to get the video recorded. That’s my best guess. Thanks for watching 👊

@@garrettweaver6605 great content sir!! outserts are for deep six or regular?

[@TyrantExterminator1776]

I think it would be better with the HIT inserts and then a sleeve over it

[@johnarnold2278]

Just bought a test pack and shafts without outserts dont spin worth a shit! Glued outserts in and spin tested ss good as possible. We'll see what happens. Though they would spin truer than they did.

[@garrettweaver6605]

You’re saying the bare shafts done spine good, or with the components installed they didn’t ?

[@johnarnold2278]

Did not spin good before gluing outsert on.

They have spine checker tools but they are expensive, but they are very handy for getting that accuracy to the next level

@@johnheitkamp4792 worth it, you can cut out all the nock tuning time for each arrow. Might need a bit depending on how good you are with the tools.

[@hawkbabby]

Nice review. Way too expensive for me. Is there anything special about the arrow other than the tolerances? 100 percent carbon right? Is the manufacturing process special? You know what I mean? I’m just trying to understand why I would change from my black eagles.

[@garrettweaver6605]

The way they put they wrap the carbon together is unique. They’re method helps get rid of the “backbone” part of the arrow. The layers of carbon or more evenly distributed around the arrow while other manufacturers use a method where they overlap creatingthe “backbone” feel of the arrow

[@hawkbabby]

Garrett Weaver sweet! Thank you. Doesn’t Easton do something like that? With the Axis?

[@johnhurley337]

Garrett!!!! Hello again lol!!! How’s it going? So how would you compare the Day six to victory vap .166?

[@garrettweaver6605]

That’s a tough one I don’t have much experience with the Vap. I’ve heard the spines aren’t super consistent with the vaps like the day six are

[@johnhurley337]

What do you mean by the spine is not exactly consistent? I believe you are incredible intelligent, and knowledgeable about anything bow’s. Please forgive my ignorance. i want to learn. I’m not easily offended in anyway shape or form I am always looking to improve on anything I do or have, So please don’t be afraid to give me your honest opinion about anything. I’m of the mind that everything can be improved on, nothing is perfect and I am always open minded to change!

[@johnhurley337]

Thank you so much 😃🙏

[@garrettweaver6605]

No worries Man! So this is secondhand from a buddy who builds arrows. The batches of vaps TKO’s he’s made haven’t had a consistent spine when he tests them in his machine. This means that the stiffness of the arrows are inconsistent which can lead to loss of accuracy or harder to tune. In my opinion spine consistency is more important Than an arrows straightness in many situations. I’d rather shoot a .003 straight arrow with great spine consistency than a .001 Straightness arrow that have different spine consistencies between arrows.

[@johnhurley337]

Very cool!!!! Thank you so much!
