Why choose Beman Bowhunter arrows?
« on: May 15, 2011, 07:54:17 PM »
the best bang for the buck.  if your like me, saving money is important.  i don't believe you need to spend a ton of money on arrows and sacrifice accuracy.   I love Beman Hunters, but have found the Beman Bowhunters perform just as well.

I love the Beman ICS CamoHunters. Great GPI, really tough and plenty accurate. Plus they're made in the USA!

Saving money now a days is important. I bought the ICS hunter elites 2 years ago, basically just a guarantee on being a little straighter over the other arrows.  I'm here to tell you that it made a big difference in my broadhead groups, also the number of arrows I considered broadhead worthy. When I bought the regular hunters I was lucky to get six to spin perfect with broadheads out of a dozen, with the elites I get ten. I think for the little extra spent you are reducing your group size and not making half of them " practice only ". The bowhunter is a cheaper price but I consider the elites a better deal. For me.

hey mike, just some research i have been working on.  can you tell me how long your arrows are cut, IBO speed of your bow, poundage, and cam type.  and when you changed arrows did you change the length of your arrow?  did you change broadheads?  i know its alot to ask for, and if you have time i would appreciate it.  if not, thank you anyway.

I shoot Beman ICS Hunters for practice and ICS Camo Hunters for hunting. I've got about 3 doz of them and every one will spin a broadhead perfectly. As a matter of fact, I've never had one spin bad. I've shot most of them with broadheads and they all shoot exactly the same. Never shot the Bowhunters or Elites.

Sorry haven't been around.  I am shooting the same broadheads ( G5 stryker ) and same arrow length  ( 29.5 " )  , bow etc.  I'm shooting a 28.5 draw length, 65#, Mathews .  Nothing changed but the arrows. I have 2 dozen regular beman ics hunters & bought one dozen elites . Hard to find a "perfect spinner " in the regulars & you have to work moving broadheads around to get a quiver full . I purchased 9 strykers & I have all nine spinning perfect out of a dozen with the elites, Took less work to achieve.  When I tested the regular hunter bemans with broadheads I had 3 or 4 arrows out of the dozen that would not shoot broadheads well enough to be in my quiver. ( thankfully I did extensive testing ) . I am way more confident with my current setup , I shot my first broadhead of the season two weeks ago & was touching my 2 inch bull @ 40 yards. Bow hunting is about confidence in your equipment & I am the most confident I have ever been. Worth the few extra $ in my opinion. Mike

I did switch to blazers and really like the flight a lot better. Seems a lot more stable. They do whistle though.  Mike

I just bought the ics hunters and found them to shoot just as good as the cabelas arrows.  I got the 4 in. veins, since i can't get the blazers to shoot worth a dam out of my bow.  :dunno:

If you ever try to go to the blazers again spray the fletchings with tinactin foot powder spray and you will see where its coming from.
