the eastons are a good arrow but i switched to the gold tips and have had better luck with them not breaking, and flying more consistantly.  not to mention that they used to cost about 70$ a dozen, but they dont have that going for them anymore.
I don't always shoot big mule deer, but when I do, it's with a bow tech!

Shot beman ics hunters for years with much success but my Easton axis arrows are much more consistant and straighter. :twocents:

"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

Easton ACC's or Carbon Express KV's in Washington to make weight.  Carbon Express Maxima everywhere else.  I've tried just about all of them and these were most consistant with my setup.

Made by and have the same quality are 2 different things.  There are tons of brands out there that are produced by top name companies but at lower specs.  That is why they are cheaper. 

Archers are funny creatures.  We will spend $900 on a bow, $150 on a rest, $200 on a sight then buy the cheapest bow case and arrows that we can find.  :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:.  The price of carbon on the world market has gone through the roof.  $10 for a quality arrow is probably as good as it's going to get.

I put gold tips because that is what i shoot the most, and just bought some more of, but i have some of the easton axis n-fused, which were good arrows, they are more accurate than my gold tips, especially out at longer distances, but the gold tips are not far off, and they are cheaper, plus significantly more durable.

I have beat those things up and they are still in good shape. And if and when they do break, or i lose one it doesn't hurt as bad explaining to the wife why i need another dozen arrows. :chuckle:
