Arrows question
« on: June 21, 2013, 07:51:20 PM »
I was drawn for cowiche any bull this year and I am looking at purchasing some new arrows for my bow. I currently just have some of the cabelas cheapie ones (made by Easton). But I am looking at a more high quality arrow, I am wondering what you guys would recommend. I like the Easton bloodline but I really have no idea about what makes an arrow better than another. I'm shooting 60lbs at 29 inch draw with 100gr broad heads.

Those Easton Bloodlines should serve you well. I shot Beman ICS Hunters for a few years with no complaints. I'm shooting Easton Axis now and love em. Make sure whatever arrow you pick that it's spined correctly so your broadheads fly as well as your field points and you'll be all set.

the gold tips are shooting well for me and you can ad weight insets behind the bh to gain foc. the carbon express maximas are also very fine and the 350 would get you legal. :tup:

Thats my question, 400 or 330 spine? The bow is a quest rogue with the single fluid cam design. Im thinking 400 should be fine but I am not sure.

Carbon express Mayhems have done well for me.  Make sure you get arrows that are stiff enough for your draw weight and heavy enough to meet the minimum arrow weight requirements for a 60lb draw.  Don't worry about getting a light arrow so it shoots fast.  Try to balance speed and weight to get hard hitting arrow.  Good luck!!

I second black eagle.  I don't believe any other company is offering as straight, tough and consistent spined arrow out right now at the price point.

Rampage or Carnivore.

The rampage are micro shafts (similar to axis) and the carnivores are normal diameter.  They also making deep impacts which are even smaller but require an outsert and have issues with some quivers.

Personally i would recommend carnivors.theres a crap ton of inserts ranging from 11 to 100 grains that you can use to build em n no quiver issues
I run the deep impacts only because they build out to the weight and foc perfect n they fig in my tightspot great now that ts sent me a new gripper.
