They are made by Carbon Tech which is McKinney's company. There are two versions of the Cheetah. The Cheetah Hunter and the Cheetah 3D. The latter are about $40/doz more - supposed to be tighter tollerance.

These shafts are one of the lighter weight of the higher end carbon shafts. They are even lighter than Easton's Lightspeed. 400 spine Cheetah goes 6.4g/inch while the 400 Lightspeed runs 7.4g/inch.

I have been told McKinney's carbon arrows are among the best as to spine, as well as weight and straightness. According to Limbwalker, consistant spine may be the most important.
