Awesome, thanks for posting! Very cool. I’ll definitely be building a dozen of these with the same components as my axis build. Don’t get me wrong, I love my 550 grain freight trains, but the same FOC minus the extra shaft weight?? Can’t wait.

These were NOT meant to be published and to the public yet, but I have had this conversation with friends in the industry and if you want to keep things quiet in this day you have to invest in some updated security and methods of Intel protection. If they don’t then can’t feel sorry when things get leaked.
I have hunted with the Good Tip BL quantum and they flew great but to me on hogs and deer were not the most durable. Hopefully these and the new Victory’s improved on that.

I googled "Easton 2025" and first result was Easton website listing new products for the year. Almost like they wanted someone to find them. I feel used :(

I'll likely buy the match grade and use the included Easton collar if it's less expensive than buying standard grade plus buying Iron Will collars. I don't like buying extra components if I don't have to (i.e. I use standard HIT inserts), but I do like using collars with HIT for added weight and durability.

I'm personally not a fan of offering different components but only if you buy the higher straightness. They should offer them with both grades of arrow.

Unless they’ve updated it in the last couple hours, that is not the public facing page, but one that was probably sent out to dealers to give them a preview of the changes happening or maybe one internally that was sent for review and somehow was placed on the open Web without a passcode.
i’ve talked to several Archery and hunting companies about this as Intel as my business and they have for years been well behind the power curve in protecting their products. I don’t have a dog in the fight and like as much as the next guy to find out new information quickly. I just know this was not supposed to have been released this morning. It is NOT the OP’s fault to have come across it as he was simply Google searching, just stating it was not meant for the public at this time and he found a secret stash of new coolness.
