Two arrow choice for hunting. Which would you use?

BHunter32 · 03-06-2003, 08:07 AM

I have two arrow choices to use this season for hunting, and was wondering which one you would use and why? I have a dozen carbon express 3d selects 300' s which weigh in at 396 grains, shooting 67 pounds. I also have a dozen beman ics 340 hunters that weigh in at 437 grains, and I could bump my poundage up to 68 pounds. Most of my shots are from 10 to 30 yards. These arrows are both tipped with 3 blade 100 grain muzzy' s, and fletched with 3, 4 inch duravanes fletched at 4 degrees. I am going to be shooting a mathews lx.

Thanks everyone,

They' re close, but I' d opt for the heavier arrow. At under 30 yards you won' t notice much trajectory difference and I like the Beman shafts better. JMHO

My gut feeling is to go with the heavier arrow too. BUT, what you really need to do is figure out which of those arrows shoots best for you, with broadheads, and base your choice on that.

wichever one flies better with the broadheads.

Iwould allso say which ever one flys best C E arrows are good , but with a heaveyer thiner arrow like the ics you are going to get better penitration so if that one flies as good as the C E' s I' ed go with them

I agree go with the arrow that flys the best with BH out of your set up. BTW, used the CE300' s with 100 Gr 3 blade muzzy BH and took a Mulie Buck 2 falls ago at 34 yards, complete pass through.

I would tend to lean toward the heavier arrow but I agree with the others, accuracy with the BH is the most important factor.

I would go with the Beman. In fact I shot just about that same arrow set up now. But the be honest I haven' t shot the CE' s.
