A/C/C or A/C-Navigator... which is better for outdoor target? Navs are dearer but someone told me they weren't so good for 80+ yds, I think due to their lightness. Anyone agree/disagree?
Are Navs superior to A/C/C's in any other way apart from strength- to-weight ratio? Are they more bend-proof or dent-proof for example? Anyone got any first-hand experience of both types to share?

Navs are lighter hence faster then ACCs i.e. should be better for long distance Navs probably also better in gusty wind then ACCs (theory not experience) Downside is that their not a matched set unlike ACCs so maybe more variation arrow to arrow.

I have found Nav's to be better due to being lighter out of my Compound.
The 610 and upwards sizes are same diameter as A/C/E shafts but without the barrelling. I switched from A/C/C to Nav's and found them to be excellent shafts, sight marks went up.
The Nav shafts are matched, under the spine rating are a number of dots, these determine the set, like the C5 number on A/C/E shafts.

A/C/C or A/C-Navigator... which is better for outdoor target?
Navigators - wholeheartedly, good summary stated by others.
to-weight ratio? Are they more bend-proof or dent-proof for example?
Don't think there's any benefits attributable to either arrow in the respect of longevity. If you're worried about bending or denting arrows, then perhaps you need to look at shooting shorter distances and perhaps buying cheaper arrows until your technique is such that you're not giving your arrows such a hard time :o)

Shorter distances? It's the shorter distances where your more likely to have an arrow hitting another on the target, n'est pas??
Hi There can be no question that the navigators will be the best for longer distance shooting - better straightness figures, lighter tubes and the ability to get better FOC combine to make an ideal 70m/90m arrow. With better stability in the wind.
Only better will be Triples , ACE's or X10's (if you have a high weight bow)

Thank you all for the input. It backs up what I surmised, based on the "ya gets what ya pay for" philosiphy - which doesn't always apply in all circumstances, but with things like Easton arrows, it probably does...
