Arrow Question

[Come Get Some]

Seems like the general opinion is just legal weight arrows. Heavy arrows carrry more kenetic energy,penetrate better and are tougher. There is always a middle of the road. If you can afford them ACC's are Tough and very consistant for grain weight and straightness. Alot of guys will say they are not any better,That usually means they have never shot them. Hopefully you only have to shoot 1 or 2 arrows a year at animals. In that case buy the best arrrow you can afford. Tip them with Shuttle T Broadheads and it will be a deadly combination.

I've shot them and others didn't think they were worth the extra money.

 Like I said it depends on your expectations and ability. They do shoot more accurately if you are capable And are stiffer and tougher

Most guys on here wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and a standard goldtip.

Thunderhead 125 and gold tip. Very reasonable price and deadly......................................

I have shot the ACCs for ten years now hunting and would not think twice about changing. Tipped with a shuttle T is the best combination i have ever shot.

I've been shooting the Easton FMJ's for years now. Bullet proof shafts and the hit animals like a Mack truck. Pass throughs at 55+ yards with 29" draw @ 70lbs.

 :sry:im using the gold tip pro hunter and love them. Im getting a total arrow weight of 470grs with a 300 spine arrow cut at 30" 3blazers 50gr insert weight and 100gr muzzy. They leave the bow with almost 95lbs of energy and at 310-315fps by the calculators. They dont fly as flat as a light arrow but penetrate way better at distance.
I go a complete pass through at 55yds on my buck and the arrow stuck in the hill behind him about 18-20".

The ce are great arrow just arnt as strong as some others, the acc or fmj have the best spine uniformity from everything ive seen, but my gold tips work great for me.

I don't know if this will help, but the Deer Crossing SD hunter is cheap and good if you are looking for all carbon arrow.  If you shoot that far, I would go heavier.  I used to shoot gold tip but couldn't get pass thru.  I switched to FMJ and have been very satisfied, even at 26" DL and 60#.

You don't need a super heavy arrow or high draw weight to pass through animals. I shot an elk at 74 yards with a 60 lb bow and 360 grain arrow and got a passthrough. That said I now shoot 70 lb and a 440 grain arrow.

Anything is possible. The thing you can not count on is the animal giving you the perfect shot or moving at the last minute. A heavier arrow actually flies flatter and carries alot more down range kenetic energy than a light fast arrow. It is kind of like an insurance policy. You do not plan on having an accident but you carry insurance. Heavier arrows are also alot tougher. Most people do not think about it but a stiffer arrow deflects less on impact giving you more penetration. If you would have hit anything else other than hide you would not have gotten a pass thru. Or if the animal would have moved and your arrow wouold have impacted the shoulder It probably would have fallen out. At 74 Yds things happen fast. One step by an elk and you have a complete miss from time of release to time of impact.

spine test those gold tips and then let me know what you think of them no you better not
knowing is very hard for the brain to over come 

[demontang]

Lol well I shot mine and they all hit the same spot but I know they arent as consistant as my target arrows by any means

[Bow Tech]

sorry just saying what i have seen no gold tip arrow worth a crap on my spine tester  didnt want to make any body mad 

[demontang]

Lol im not mad. If I wantwd a perfect spine arrow id look else where my self

I would find the cheapest arrow out there that shoots well with your bow. I shoot Easton's that are about $5 an arrow. This is with an "old" 2006 bow. I shoot with some guys from church who shoot $10-12 arrows with their $1,000 bows and in a contest I usually outshoot most of them. Technique and practice matter far more in my book than how expensive your gear is.

 HMMMM. They all hit the same spot but ARE NOT AS CONSISTANT AS YOU TARGET ARROWS. How big is the spot. Your target arrows must not last long ,Hitting the same spot usually means a robin hood. Wouldnt you want the same consistancy with hunting arrows??? 2 points at a tournament is definately worth a lot more than filling your freezer or wounding an animal.Add a broadhead,hillside,wind,rain or snow. More factors to make a less perfect arrow fly worse or impact differently. Guarantee although my ACC 371's are very accurate they do not shoot as well as my X10 Protour's. I sight in at a 2" dot at 80 yds with my broadheads. They shoot consistant enough that you do not want to shoot more than 1 0r 2 or you will be ruining arrows. Hard to do with a cheap arrow.
