What are the Best Carbon Hunting Arrows?
deleted BGS:
Easton axis! Spendy but awesome. I have black and the camo, i dont like camo because they are hard to see and hard to pull out of targets, but very strong and fast. I have blazer and regular vanes.

I used Gold tip XT Hunters in camo and I now use Easton ST Axis 340. They shhot good and everything I have shot this last hunting season was a complete pass through. The only reason I switched was they were out of the gold tips went I went to the shop. So I figured I would try out the Eastons. I like the slim design and the fly straight when I am not srcewing up my shot. I am still trying to get a good broadhead tune on them. I found with my bow(PSE XFORCE GX) 3 Blade fly better that 4 blade muzzy MX version.

I haven't shot all the brands available and I have just stuck with the Beman ics line. I would like to make the point that 3 years ago I started buying the Ics Hunter Elites that have the smaller tolerances for straightness over the ones I was using & I noticed a difference especially in broadhead flight. My regular Ics ( forget straightness on both ) were a lot harder to get the spin test perfect & some were unshootable in my opinion. I now get the elites @ like $ 20 a dozen more, they all spin perfect & I don't have to designate any as " practice arrow only ". As discussed for hunting you don't have to spend a fortune on arrows but I found the next straightness up for $ 20 made a big difference for me. Mike

But when you ask such a broad question your going to get alot of different answers :chuckle: Its like saying whats the best rifle or best diesel or best set of boobs. In the long run you come to find what ever of the above stated you can get your hands on will make you smile :)

:) I like the axis! Killed 2 bulls , 2 bucks , and a cougar all with the same arrow and the same year. Never was let down with the beamans either. As far as boobs go though I like them all.! :chuckle:
