Smith's range with Shot covers four quite different barrels rather than one idea in several weights, which makes it unusually worth exploring — Achieve, Believe, Defiant and Tenacious each suit a different hand.

Koi and Tao carbon shafts run through the setup, pairing stiffness with very low weight, and the matched flights carry the same designs.

Everything is designed and machined in New Zealand and match weighed, which is part of why the barrels are as consistent as they are. Smith is a former World Champion and the Achieve is his actual match barrel rather than a range built around a name — worth knowing if you want the setup he plays rather than the one with his picture on it.
