Cabela's Carbon Hunter arrows
« on: March 22, 2011, 08:55:20 PM »
I'm in need of some arrows for me new (used) bow. I'm on a tight budget so looking to save money any way I can. I see Cabelas has their Carbon Hunter arrows for $50/dozen. Are these decent arrows for that price?

So there isn't anything else that would be significantly better for the same money?

I would shoot the cablea's stalker extreme over the carbon hunters. The cabelas stalker arrows are almost identical as beman ics hunters. Beman makes there arrows according to cableas :twocents:

What about Easton ST Epics?
I don't remember how much mine were. I have ST Axis that I hunt with too.

I have some of the stalker extreme and just changed over to gold tip xt hunter. Accuracy is about the same, but the gold tip is a lot smoother feeling on release. I thought the stalker extreme was a good arrow for the price.

Jackelope I shot epics last year and they were great! I could find them for under $70. The only reason I switched was because I wanted to go to a heavier arrow.

The epics are the best bang for the buck imo.

I shoot them and like them just fine. I think, for the money, you cant do much better. That being said, I dont think there is much, if any difference between them and many other carbon arrows within the same price range.  :twocents:

I have always hunted with goldtips and see no reason to change.  You should be able to find some good deals on a dozen goldtips.  I shoot the XT's for hunting .003 straightness.

Don't overlook archerytalk's classifieds, also.  There are a ton of guys who buy a dozen only to find out they weren't properly spined for their setup and sell them darn cheap.  You can generally find your length and spine in whatever arrow you want for at least 30% off.

I also agree with the stalker extreme, not much more money and I think they better than my buddies Easton Axis full metal jackets.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

They should get the job done. You might also check out the gold tip expeditions :IBCOOL: I shoot a lot of diffrent arrows. But my faves are goldtip xt's.

I was just thinking why I was the only one that said goldtips.

Before you buy em from Cabelas check out www.thesportsmanguide.com they have a decent selection and they are more budget minded. It may be last years stuff but it isn't badly priced.

The carbon hunters are good shafts, but the tolerances for spine and straightness are about two to three times what the CE or equivilent arrow would be, so you may find that 3 or 4 per dozen don't fly as well. A name-brand arrow with tighter tolerances may cost twice as much.
