Arrows

[demontang]

I shoot beman ics hunters and gold tip series 22 pro's and they both are great shooting arrows. The pros arnt the strongest arrow but they shoot great and where all straight and  +/_ 1gr. The Bemans are tough arrows and fly well enough to robin hood with broad heads at 60yd . All the arrows talk about before are great too so its realy how much you want to spend.

I am looking at the beeman ICS shafts. My buddy will put the blazer vanes on for me.

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

Oh yeah, i was thinking about the let off rule. My martin is 60%, most of the new bows are 80% why can't i find the rule in the regs??? Is it still 60%?

I use beman ICS Hunters.  I have had some for over 8 years and just keep re-vaning them.  I know some of those old arrows have been through at least 6 or 7 different animals and they still fly perfectly.

I am shooting the easton nfused carbon arrows. They are tough, shoot straight and haven't caused me any problems. If it ain't broke there is no need to fix it, and easton arrows have always shot true for me with field points or broadheads.

They have taken the rule out of the regs.You can now have any let-off you want......I think las year was the 1st year of the change

Nice, thanks spin.

the old used to be 65% let off not 60% but as stated above its all good now, I had a target bow back in the day that was 80% let off and I hated it..... the wall was way to soft for me,  shooting back tension with it was not easy and it never shot as well as I had hoped.............

i fletch and wrap all of my arrows and i use vapor 3000's with blazers and wrap. i use a martin moab and love it, a real fast and quiet bow.  i have shot both 4in. vanes and blazers and i have found that the vanes shoot better for just target practice with field points. the blazers shoot much better with broadheads, and with the wraps on it levels out the weight just enough to shoot better with field points. with the wraps there isn't any difference between the two with field points.

    I am not quite sure what you're getting at by that statement?? Wraps will add more weight to the back end of the arrow in which case loosing your front of center...  I use wraps, yes - and with my set up they shoot great, but as far as balancing out the shaft it doesn't do anything good for them.  And in some cases it can cause more trouble than they are worth...  The more weight you can get at the tip of your shaft the better to an extent.

Ide go eastom epics...and i have herd of people using wraps and the weight added is so small that you will never now a difference...it is ounces......

if it were me and im not a big bow guy but look and research all my options for when i do decide to do archery, it would be a uper end arrow not max end....but upper end arrow like the epics with either blaser wraps and vanes or the quick spin vanes.....i have heard alot of ggood things about all of those....harder plastic, so if you have any rubbing at all you will find out quick, but when they run, they are the best....

but most of this is from what i have read and what i have heard from alot of friends that are in the hunting industrie.....

[jackelope]

i don't think epics would be considered upper end arrows....and i don't think wraps ad ounces to the back end of an arrow...
 

i have had good luck with my easton st axis arrows with wraps and 4 blazers, but it's all i've used to hunt with. i shoot st epics when i am shooting targets and shooting at grouse. key word being shooting AT grouse, not actually shooting grouse yet.

i have only shot easton arrows in my limted bow hunting career of 2 years now.

what i was trying to get at is that the vanes have a little more weight than the blazers do, thats why the blazers dont shoot as well as the vanes do with field points. the wraps even it out just enough. blazers are made for broadheads

Point made - thank you for the clarification.  And blazers will shoot just as well with wraps or without - field points or broadheads if your bow is set up correctly and tuned to that specific shaft combination.  Archery has so many different combinations and that is why each of us shoot something different and unique to our own liking...
