Easton Axis. They have very thick walls which make them very tough. The way they have the insert designed makes broadheads spin straight extremely easily. You pay $150-200 a dozen  for other brands but all you get are gimmicks that dont make you any more accurate. I think Axis are extremely tough accurate arrows at a fair price.

Great thread. I am also looking to see opinions.  I've shot Beman ICSs for years with no complaints, but that about trying the CE weight fwd arrows. I also really liked the ACCs,  but didn't like the price.

I have shot easton axis, beman ics hunters, and gold tip xt hunters in the last few years.

The Gold Tip have been the strongest most durable arrow I have shot.  If I missed a 3d Target it seems like the Gold Tip had a lot better chance of making it through the carnage.  Could be a coincidence on how the arrows hit.

Not to mention they shoot really well.

Easton Axis were second best and the bemans come in last.

Thats crazy. ICSs have been flawless for me on 3D/ golf shoots, while I've seen several, several Goldtips shatter. :dunno:

It doesn't really matter what arrows I shoot. None of them ever hit a deer anyway. :chuckle:
