I have two arrow choices to chose from this season and I was wondering if you all could give me your opinions on which one to choose? Let me tell you what I have. I have a dozen carbon express 3d selects 300, 30 inches long, 3, 4 inch duravanes fletched with a slight helical, and 100 grain muzzy 3 blades. Total weight on these arrows are 394 grains. I also have a dozen beman ics hunter 340' s, 30 inches long, with 3, 4 inch feathers fletched with a slight helical and 100 grain muzzy 3 blades. Total weight is 411 grains. I have a 29 inch draw, use a loop, and shoot 68 pounds on my mathews lx. I also use a shoot through rest.These arrows both shoot so close to each other it is hard to decide on which one. I have shot with vanes for years, but was just looking to try something different this season. I should add I vary rarely hunt in the rain. I know most will say it is my own preference on which one, but wonder what you all would use and which one would give me better results under hunting conditions and be more forgiving if I can' t use good form, which when your huntin' is sometimes hard to do. Good luck this season and shoot straight. Bhunter32.

I' d go with the cool lookin' ones... if they both are cool, I' d flip a quarter. Seriously.
Both of those arrows are reported to be of consistent spine, weight and straightness. If they tuned equally well, it' d boil down to aesthetics for me...

I don' t think that the difference in weight will make a hill of beans worth of difference in the arrow' s effectiveness. Shoot the one that stands out in your mind for one reason or another.
I pretty much agree with Rangeball and 98Redline It doesn' t really matter much.
BUT...if given the choice, I' d go with the 3-D selects...because the vanes ARE shooting JUST as good as the feathers, you might as well have the vanes JUST incase it DOES rain...that and it you bump your quiver full of feathers, they can make a bit of noise.
these are SMALL reasons...but all else being equal (weight is too close to be a concern for speed and/or penetration) I had to pick a tie breaker.
Not me; I would go with the arrows that seem to be more consistent in good flight and consistent accuracy, even if the difference is micro. " Cool looking" is for show; just " plain and drab" accuracy is for hunting.
The guy at my local proshop told me that with the bemans since I was so close on the charts to go with the 340 instead of the 400, because they recommend one size stiffer when shooting a single cam. Both of these are tuned to bullet holes so that is not a problem. I am leaning more toward the bemans right now. Thanks for the responses and keep em comin.
