Hello again HW,

Thanks

ACC pro hunters but they quit making them. Dont think you can go wrong with any of today's arrows.

I’ve got a buddy who works at Cabela’s so he used his discount to buy me some of those Cabela’s stalker extreme arrows for Christmas. Same straightness and weight of my Easton’s and I can’t tell the difference. He paid like $55 but a dozen is normally like $85. They’re Beman arrows with Cabela’s name. And Beman is made by Easton. Someday I’ll buy Axis or something, until then these group great at 70 yards!

Gold Tip XT Hunter. Tough as nails, straight and good grain weight tolerance. Less than $10 each fletcher and under $95 a dozen raw shafts. I've shot arrows from Easton, Carbon Express and Gold Tip and don't think I'm switching again unless I can't get rid of an itch to try Victory Vap.

I shoot the Axis  n fused arrows and love them.  I don't think they make them any longer but they do make the axis line which are great arrows.  I agree you can't go wrong with most arrows these days.

Fmjs and axis have been good to me. I’m giving Day Six arrows a shot this year.

Easton Axis for sure! The wife and I both shoot them and love them.

Gave the Easton hexx a go last season and was very impressed.  Shorter draw length so getting a high FOC and a reasonable overall weight can be tough.  50gr brass inserts and 125gr heads enabled me to shoot lights in the rear while still maintaining a high FOC.  Tough shaft to boot!

I shoot Victory vap elite 350. My dad shoots gold tip velocity pro. My buddy shoots gold tip hunter pro. I Put these arrows together for them. They are all great. I think victory’s carbon is a little better, but what matters most is tuning your bow to what ever arrow you get.

[firehawk87]

I have always advised guys/gals to try multiple arrows and arrow builds through your setup. Majority of the bows are so dang good these days and tuning them is incredibly easy. Therefore for a long time now I have believed in just tuning the arrow to your bow and not the other way around. That being said try multiple different arrows and spines.

I shoot Easton Bloodlines, when you are altitude gifted and long draw length you quickly find out that spine will limit your arrow choices very dramatically.

I just bought 72(6 dozen) of them.

Lots of good advice and recommendations here. 

One of the most important factors is just getting the correct spine for your setup.  Some manufactures spines differ a bit, a 300 at one, might be a touch stiffer or weaker than other's 300.

The Gold Tip FACT weight system is one of the best screw in insert systems IMHO which is an added bonus for fine tuning everything, so that is what I usually go with and recommend. 

But to answer your question, right now Black Eagle Spartan's 250.  I got a deal I couldn't pass up so am giving them a test drive.

Easton FMJ's 300's cut at 30" exact

brass inserts cut at 50gr

100gr heads, usually slick trick mags or grizz

Momentum  .675

FOC 12.57%

IBO is 345  (Realm X)

calculator say's my arrows should be going 285.6 fps

Gold tip hunter xt work well for me and are super tough. I have yet to break one on any missed shot or arrow hitting arrow.

Bought two dozen of these before they stopped.  Dang good arrows.

Imo, best answer so far. So many options, chances are, first set of arrows you try won't be the best arrows for you and your setup. Whatever you get, if they fly near perfect for you then just stick with them and get intimate with them over time. If they aren't panning out real nice, try something new next year. I think with most guys, they've shot multiple types of arrows until they've settled on something they love versus like.

Currently, I'm shooting Beeman ICS Precision Hunters and love 'em. Before these I shot Carbon Express Mayhem Hunters, a great arrow for penetration and 'knockdown' power but these guys seemed slower and didn't shoot all that flat for me. They'd be a great treestand arrow, esp. for elk I think. With that said, I had a complete pass through on a cow last year with the Beemans at 75 yards. (Bow: Elite Energy 35 @ 70lb with 125gr g5 Strikers)

Fmj’s 300 125 grain head

[mburrows]

Ive done a ton of tinkering over the past 2 years with my arrow set up and have finally found a set up that is super tune-able and so far any broad head I've screwed on has flown just like my field tips.  Im far from an expert and Im still trying to learn, just wanted to share what has made a huge difference for me because its made me more confident than I have ever been with a broadhead on the end of my arrow.

Re-reading RadSav's posts and listening to Aron Synder's podcast is what led me to keep playing with set ups until I found one my bow liked.

First, I was under spined with my previous set ups. I was worried about having too stiff of an arrow that wouldnt be forgiving or so I thought.  From what I've experienced, its better to have a stiffer spine that you can then "weaken" by adding point weight or inserts.  Spine charts that manufactures put out are good to a point but I didnt consider that a spine chart doesnt take into account the rest of your arrow components. 

I messed with various broadhead and field point weights and swapped brass insert weights in and out.  It blew my mind how much a heavier arrow up front (brass insert and a heavier head) tightened up my groups, improved my arrow flight consistency and improved fixed blade broadhead flight.

I got to the point were I made my arrow too heavy for my preferences and my shots at greater distances started to diminish so I backed off a little weight.

I'm currently shooting 100gr tips, 75 grain brass inserts on my black eagle spartan 300's and Im having great results.  I shot Muzzy 3 blades, Rad Ticon 100's and G5 Montecs Sunday afternoon to test them out and the groups were pretty dang tight.  I've also shot Stinger buzzcuts and they flew well but I didnt test those on Sunday.

Two years ago I would have just put on 100 grain broad heads, adjusted my sight to account for my broad heads hitting right and high and called it good.  I'd pull arrows of my target and they would be a different angles which only hurts the confidence.

Just wanted to share my  as hunting season gets close.  Im still tinkering and hope to fine tune everything even more but something as simple as adding point weight and shooting a heavier arrow can make a huge difference in the flight of your arrow with a broadhead.
