you could get a million responses to this and get as many different answers. try huntersfriend.com. they have a thing called carbon university and it explains a lot about arrows. they also have a ton of arrows to choose from in varying price ranges and their pricing seems to be very competitive. my arrows arrived pre-cut, fletched, knocks/inserts/field tips installed. they also come with a sheet telling you what they weigh. ready to shoot out of the box.

a good hunting arrow are the gold tips that is what i shoot in a bunch of my bows you can go the expedition hunters which are .006 and good for hunting for about 75.00 a dozen or the xt at .003 which are great for hunting for about 90-100 a dozen

I've used the Goldtips since they came out, most recently using the Goldtip Xt's at .003 straightness. I've never seen a compelling reason to try a different arrow. But there are a myriad of coices and probably none of them bad as long as stick with at least .006 straightness.

I liked the beeman ics hunters, They where great arrows to me. Tough as heck I shot one in to a double layer of lexan (3/8in) and it punched though it without a problem and the arrow was still good.

Think I might be switching to Beman after hearing all the good reviews. I just burned through a dozen Easton axis st's in the last 3 months. $89 sounds way better then $120.

I was shooting Beman ICS camo hunters but just switched to the Beman MFX team realtrees. I really like the MFX's and will be buying more. But if I was on a tight budget I'd buy more of the ICS camo hunters.

I have been spending a little extra on the Beman Ics hunter elites and I think the extra money for the extra straightness is worth it. Much easier to get my arrows perfectly spin tested with broadheads and I really see the difference helping friends who buy the regular hunter arrows. It is not much more money & you will have tighter groups. Mike

+1 for the gold tips. I have used carbon express maximas @ $125 per dozen, beman ICS, beman black Max and a few others. The Gold tips have been the toughest. My dad has put the same arrow thru 3 different bull elk and the arrow is still good. I am up to 2 bulls with one of my arrows. My dad and bothers use the xt's - I use the expeditions and both shoot great.
