made in Michigan? I have nothing against g5 or prime, I actually own a prime black 3. But I recently looked into these arrows and the discription on Lancaster archery makes it sound like they are made in the USA? From my knowledge all arrows are made outside the country due to some laws or regulations regarding carbon. I think Easton is the only manufacturer that makes “carbon” arrows in the states due to a different process they use. Back to my main point, I’m not sure these arrows are made in the USA? I most deffenetly could be wrong.

You made me look at the website. Say's they partnered with the premier carbon shaft manufacturer in the world.
I read that as Easton is building an arrow for them to the specs they want. And using the USA made tubes from Easton factories. And then Bohning USA made fletch and nocks. And then they inspect and package them....all USA. I am thinking anyway.

We had another thread on them... G5 Outdoors Arrows?
Easton has the technology to do whatever they want. The FMJ, and X10 are far more complex builds than any weave.

The Mark arrows are made by the same company that makes Carbon Express arrows.
There is few American Made Carbon Arrows, that said they might be "assembled" here but the main material "carbon" are made outside the US. Gold Tip once Was made here but moved to Mexico years ago but not sure they are still made there. Lower enviroment requirements & labor costs. Never understand how they can make money when they have to be shipped farther but unless as mention lower labor and less enviromental restrictions? Just the way how the global economy works I guess.

This is a fact. I talked to a G5/Prime rep about them. I asked him if they were made by CX because of the .203 and .244 IDs.
100% CX arrows. That's not a bad thing imo. I'm a fan of the CX Red SD. I just don't like how the G5 arrows are heavier than a Red SD.
I'm more interested in the new CX Photon SD myself.

really interesting. Im hearing all kinds of mixed matched information. based off of what I have read and heard, I think CX makes them. It kind of frustrates me that the marketing is misleading in a way. The description would have most consumers believing they are made in Michigan.

AlphahunterNEL I'm not on here too often but I saw the post and wanted to add some clarity to your question about where the arrows are made. G5 is buying the carbon shafts directly from one of the best carbon tube manufacturers in the world and they are based in Korea. We're not buying them from any other arrow manufacturer in the industry. We chose this factory because they could meet the high-quality demands and design features we had for the product line. We're producing all of the components for the arrows in-house in our facility in Memphis, MI on our CNC swiss screw machines that we already produce our broadheads and bow components, as well as medical devices and other precision components for other industries that we do for another part of our business. Another thing worth mentioning is that the arrow shafts come to our factory and besides doing a full inspection of the arrows we do all the assembly of the components to the arrows in-house as well. So every arrow is handled by a G5 employee which helps us ensure a high-quality product, which is our goal for the Mark Series product line. Let me know if you have any other questions.

thank you Matt Grace for the clear information.
I actually always liked the older Carbon Xpress Maxima reds. I have not used any of the newer ones with the "red zone' or whatever it is. But the carbon weave on the old Maxima and the slick finish I always liked. I think I still have a couple. When I saw the arrow on the website I thought the construction looked familiar. May try some.
