Whats a good arrow to hunt with?

[Bullkllr]

I used to buy more expensive arrows but I tried the Cabela's Carbon Hunter arrows in an experimentation phase last year and found them to be perfectly suitable for both target practice and hunting.  They come with a variety of vane types and they go on sale for $25/half dozen quite often.  There is no reason, especially for a beginner, that they shouldn't be your arrow of choice.

I have it on reliable account that the Carbon Hunters are indeed made by Beman, and are in fact the exact same shafts as the Beman ICS Hunters with different logo.

Gold Tip.  I had consistency problems with Bemans, switched to Gold Tips and haven't looked back.

You can't overdraw and stack a scale.  Peak draw weight is in the draw cycle not at full draw.

your right D but i've seen guys jerk a bow back and change the reading , I guess I was thinking more along the lines of a recurve draw cycle . either way the accuracy of those scales varies so a grain or two either way isn't my biggist concern. If your bow is set up with a accurate arrow and it's five grains light I'd just back it down a pound or two and or not worry about it .

Heavy is better. If you have a 30 inch draw, you will have more than enough speed and kinetic energy should be the main concern, not how fast it gets there.  Heavy arrows shoot better, are easier on your bow, less noise, ect.  I shoot Easton Axis FMJ in the 340, 11.3 grains per inch.  Im just a little dude and my total arrow weigh ends up at about 500 grns.  Still very fast at a 25 inch draw.  Its all relative.....

All the arrows I have put through deer were Gold Tips. I like the xt hunters.

I dont think the carbon huunters are ics hunters the construction is different and the havent been as tough. I do know easton makes the carbon hunter but they are more like the lower bowhunter arrows. I havent shot to many gold tips except there high end target arrows but they where top notch arrows.

Im using the axis n fused and my arrow come In at 487gr at 30" , carbon hunter is 420gr at 29" and pro hunter come in at 398 at 30" , 30x gold tips hit 520grs at 29" All with 100gr heads.

30x gold tips are some big fat arrows.

Look like logs agains my axis

They are logs.  Meant to be shot indoors.
