I picked up a few of the Protos at Am Nats but have yet to throw any of them. May part with a couple to some friends. As for flight, I saw a good number of people throwing them with mixed success. Several players flipped them hard while others couldn't work a flex or even a long straight flight. My conclusion is it is the archer, not the arrow that is the deciding factor. They seemed to hold up in the wind fairly well unless they were way over torqued.
