When I bought them it was because I could not make up my mind between my 55# Damon Howatt x-300, my 60# Kodiak Magnum, 64# 1952 Grizzly, my 65# Martin Hunter, or my 70# Damon Howatt Hunter and they were spined 50-100#, so with 160gr Wensel Woodsmans I could use the same arrows no matter what bow I chose to carry. I wish I could afford some more, but out of the dozen I bought, I still have 9 of them and the ones I lost/broke are not the ones I have harvested 2 deer and 1 elk with! Those are still good (although covered in dried blood!)

You know a wet wash cloth will get that blood off right?   :chuckle:

I am only shooting these out of a Schulz longbow which shoots right around 65# with my draw length.  When doing my research I read that the 45-65 lb bows had a hard time stabilizing the Alaskans, and that a lot of folks liked the Arrow Dynamic shaft for these bows.  I really wanted the Alaskans because I am a big believer in shooting a heavy-as-possible-arrow through a traditional bow.  We'll see how they compare.

I'm shooting the AD Hammerheads out of a 58# Pronghorn L/B.  So far I like them, shoot straight and are super durable.  I've never tried the Alaska's but hear both good and bad about them.  Supposedly, they aren't as easy to tune as the AD's, guess it depends on the bow and/or shooter.  Good luck with them!

Do those arrows come with inserts or what? (Either brand)

Both of my orders came with inserts.  I had to buy a pack of the screw-in adaptors for a glue-on broadhead to try out the two-blades that I have.

Ok so if I do not have glue on broadheads there is nothing "extra" to buy.

Thanks
