Podium X A/C – World-Class Barreled Aluminum-Carbon Competition Arrow

The Podium X A/C is engineered for archers who demand uncompromising performance at the highest level of competition. Built around a precision 7075 aluminum alloy core wrapped with high-modulus Toray 40T carbon, this barreled aluminum-carbon shaft delivers exceptional stability, speed, and long-range precision.

Designed primarily for Olympic recurve and compound target archers competing outdoors at a high level, Podium X A/C is built for demanding events at 50m, 70m, and beyond. Its advanced barreled profile helps reduce aerodynamic drag and wind drift while maintaining optimal mass distribution along the shaft. This design supports stable long-range flight and tight grouping consistency in challenging outdoor conditions.

For archers chasing their personal limits, Podium X A/C is designed to deliver maximum performance when the final points matter most. Whether competing in high-level recurve rounds or compound target events, the shaft is built to help archers maintain confidence, precision, and consistency through long competition days.

The barreled geometry also supports quick arrow recovery after release, helping the shaft stabilize efficiently and track cleanly through the air. This contributes to smoother arrow flight, improved forgiveness, and greater consistency across repeated shots and full tournament rounds.

Constructed with premium Toray 40T high-modulus carbon and engineered using Nano OD precision technology, each shaft features 360° Consistent Flex to ensure uniform spine behavior and reliable tuning. The aluminum-carbon composite structure combines the structural consistency of a precision aluminum core with the performance advantages of high-modulus carbon, producing a shaft built for strength, stability, and exceptional precision.

Podium X A/C can also be a strong option for barebow archers in fixed-distance target competition, where stable flight, predictable reaction, and grouping consistency are the priority.

Trusted by high-level recurve and compound competitors, Podium X A/C represents the pinnacle of Zone’s aluminum-carbon arrow design—delivering the speed, stability, and precision required when every point matters.
