Carbon Express Maxima Sable RZ
The Sable RZ leans on Carbon Express’s TriSpine geometry to run a quieter, straighter-flying stock arrow than the Maxima Red it replaces. Straightness is spec’d as a maximum, not an average, which is the honest way to spec straightness.
What bowhunters actually say
The arrows flew quietly, producing less noise upon release compared to heavier arrows.
Progunfighter, Maxima Sable RZ review
Struggling with straightness when spinning broadheads on their Maxima Sable RZ arrows advertised as .001, with only a few spinning perfectly.

Field performance
Whitetail speed build: Sable RZ 400, 100 gr broadhead, factory nock and insert, finished ~395 to 410 grains. Not a heavy-KE elk arrow: 350 spine at 8.4 GPI is on the lighter side of the mid class.
Common complaints
Two: (1) light weight makes it wind-sensitive past 50 yards; (2) forum users on Archery Talk report spinner wobble on shafts marked .001, which the Sable RZ’s more honest .002 max spec at least sets a floor for.
Who should shoot it
Whitetail bowhunter who values quiet release and speed, and treestand shooters at 30 yards or less where wind is not the discussion.
