Arrows

[mossback91]

My cheap expedition hunters seem accurate enough    but Ive never shot anything real spendy.......Id like to try some easton axis but them are spendy

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

as far as a hunting set up, really any arrow will work, the tolerances are not great enough to see huge differences in accuracy, a example would be, we shot a arrow with a .006 tolereance through a hooter shooter at 30 yrds....... the group size was about the size of a softball with a 2 flyers just out, a axis that is .003 shot a group about the size of a baseball....... so in the hunting world where the " x ring" does not mean anything, any decent hunting arrow will do, more importantly, you need to be good with your bow.. if your form is good and consistent you should have no problem hitting the kill zone on anything from a rabbit to a elk or moose.......

you all make good points xx78 superslams are tough as hell , if money is an issue spend it on good broadheads. the blazers are good fletchings I never fight a contact issue with them and they fly broadheads well too. Coach

I've been shooting the 300 full metal jackets with blazer vanes.  They seem to fly straight for me.  I'm shooting 290fps with a 465 grain arrow topped with the Shuttle T's.  Great combo so far! 

Full Metal Jackets all the way.  Best of both worlds.

Have taken two elk and a tree with them.  I still use those arrows for pratice and they still fly true.

I have a man crush on my new ACC prohunters.

that is what I will be shooting this year out of my pse omen....390 ACC Pro hunters

[mossback91]

just tried some axis arrows........they shoot better imo......really noticing better groups at about 40 and 50 yards.....better than my cheap goldtips for sure

I shoot the 300 spine ones they hit hard

I always found the aluminums to be a little more forgiving, not a bad place to start and find that comfort zone, but there is now debating the benefits of the carbons. I loved the ACC's I used to use, but have settled with the CX300, tipped with muzzy three blade.

I've had multiple friends switch from carbon back to aluminum due to carbon arrow " splintering " inside the animal. They are going with the new slimmer aluminum arrows for that reason. My carbon did break inside my mule deer buck two years ago but was a clean break at broad head. I don't know who makes the slimmer aluminum but suppose to be pretty comparable to carbon. I'm just going to keep shooting my Bemans. Mike

[Hoytstaffshooter83]

what arrow were they shooting? a cheaper carbon would splinter but any of the newer upper end stuff should be a clean break....... ie  axis, gold tip pro hunter, beman ics  etc

eveyone makes a good point about both, im always worried about penitration so i likea heavyer arrow as couch stated, ive taken many arrows and tested with broad heads through 1 1/2 inch sheets of plywood my 2314 easton xx75 have always given me more penitration.  till now these latest easton full metal jackets give me about 5 in more penitration     its not all about speed although speed is good. if your like me and on a budget hard to beat the price of a good quality alluminum arrow, if you can afford $120 a doz   id go withthe easton full metal jacketsthis jus my

Thats my problem.......the 120 a dozen does not appeal to me at all.........but arrows do last longer than a box of bullets!! lol

I like nice arrows...however I dont shoot grouse and I feel like im missing out on fun Id have with cheaper arrows

[elkoholic1]

thats why i still shoot the alluminum arrows, have for over 20 years its always done the job for me, they last me seveal years and i shoot alot, every weekend and some times during the week, and i dont have any issue of blowing them up or bending them, unless i miss or by chance robin hood an arrow  im not switching yet still got 4 1/2 doz alluminums to go, they have never let me down yet, they fly good, steer a broadhead awesome.  sometimes on a smaller dia. arrow its harder to get a broadhead to fly well. alot of it is what ever makes you more confident, is usually a good way to go.  you need to be confident in what ever your shooting is going to the job and hasrvest your animal,or find its target eveytime you release it.
