Default Another "Best" Arrow Thread


I have Gold Tip XT's and like em. But my dozen is now down to 4 and I'm just looking for a change. [8D]

Since I'm not buying a new bow, I figured I'd go ahead and get one of the "best" hunting arrows.

FYI, I'm shooting a Tribute at 61# and 28", and I plan to switch to smooth mods and add
either a Zero Effect or Limbdriver in the offseason. I also shoot ST magnum, but might try the
Rage 2 blade next season.

I'm thinking of a medium weight arrow that is tough and accurate. I was looking at ACC's, Axis,
the new Trophy Ridge Crush arrows (ads all over the darn place), etc.

Any input appreciated. Debate encouraged. [8D]

The FMJ's look really heavy. At least heavier than the ACCs. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I want something that will pack a decent punch, but since I'm only shooting 61# I don't want something that
will drop too fast after 20-25 yards. That's my thinking anyway.

I'm leaning towards ACC's even though $$$ (maybe I will just get 6).

I also want to see if the new N-Fushion and Trophy Ridge's live up to hype.

My buddies FMJ's would basically explode if they hit anything other than a target or a deer, then again he was always missing the target

They are heavier than the ACC's but depending on length you should be able to build a FMJ complete with 100 grain head to weigh 380 to 400 grains.

Mine are 27.5" long and with a brass insert and 125 gr. ST weigh 497 grains. You can take off 107 or sograins if you go with a standard insert and a 100 grain head

100 grains for a brass insert but then you have to put the aluminum one in.
