Carbon Express Maxima Photon SD Carbon Hunting Arrow Shafts (12-Pack)

The Carbon Express® Photon SD was engineered for archers who demand a balance of speed, precision, and downrange performance without compromise. Built on a lightweight platform and driven by our most advanced technologies, the Photon SD delivers flatter trajectories, faster recovery, and consistent impact—shot after shot. At the core of the Photon SD is Carbon Express’ exclusive Tri-Spine Weight Forward™ technology, which precisely controls how the arrow flexes during the shot cycle. By reinforcing the front and rear sections of the shaft and isolating dynamic flex to the center RED Zone, the Photon stabilizes more quickly out of the bow. That faster recovery reduces oscillation, tightens groups, and allows fixed-blade broadheads to fly with field-point accuracy. Paired with this is 360° Spine Technology, delivering uniform stiffness around the entire circumference of the shaft. This eliminates weak-side bias and ensures every arrow reacts the same regardless of orientation, leading to more consistent flight and fewer unexplained misses. Each shaft is laser-measured for spine and sorted for consistency, then weight-matched to ±1.0 grain. The result is unmatched uniformity across every dozen—simplifying tuning and increasing confidence at longer distances. The Photon SD is available in 400 spine (8.0 GPI), 350 spine (8.7 GPI), and 300 spine (9.6 GPI), giving archers the ability to fine-tune their setup for optimal performance. Built on a micro-diameter .203” platform, the Photon SD reduces wind drift while maintaining excellent component compatibility. Its lightweight construction makes it an ideal choice for archers looking to maximize speed without giving up control or penetration. From release to impact, the Photon SD is built to recover faster, fly straighter, and deliver consistent performance when it matters most.
