For a few dollars more you can get the Stalker extreme. They fly just as good as my eastons at half the price. :bash:

I have a question since I'm fairly new to bow hunting you guys seem to know your stuff. Let's say I have a box of gold tips, a box of carbon stalkers, and a box of beman hunters. Everything being equal (length, weight, spine) will they shoot the same? By that I mean if I sighted my bow in with gold tips but shot a beman would it make a difference? I'm used to rifles where brands of bullets shoot different in each rifle.

Diameter of the arrow will effect where they hit. If they are the same weight, you would more than likley just have to make a gang adjustment to all of your pins.

Stalker Extremes are about 70/dozen and shoot quite well.  They worked on last years elk and '07 and '09 deer.  They do seem to break easily.  I'm trying some really spendy Maxima Hunters now, want to see what the price will get me!  I'll let you all know what I think in a few months.

Your differences would come in group sizes and consistency not necessarily in pin setting to get a bullseye-centered group if weight and length remain the same.  As it turns out, the three you mentioned are not that far apart in terms of spine tolerances, so your group size would be roughly the same with those three.  Now, if you threw in a dozen high-end arrows, then you'd most likely get groups that are 1/2 or 2/3 the size.  A dozen top-shelf arrows will have 1 or 2 that don't fly like the rest of the group; a dozen super-cheap arrows will have 5 or 6.  That difference is greatly magnified with fixed-blade broadheads, hence the development of mechanicals the past few years.  20 years ago we all shot aluminum arrows; there were no mechanical heads out because the aluminum spine is much easier to keep tight tolerances on than carbon arrows; once carbon arrows hit the scene 15 years ago with the advent of centershot risers the spine tolerances went haywire and the mechanicals were developed to counteract that.

Too bad we can't use mechanicals in Washington.
