Which arrows for hunting and shooting?

[tabby]

I got a new bow, and now need some new arrows. I am looking at Aluminum this time around. I will be shooting a 27 inch arrow at 60-65lbs out of a single cam for target (spot, 3D, around the house) and 70lbs for hunting.

I was looking at the XX78 Super Slam Select for hunting, and possibly the X7 Cobalt for target. I want a flat shooting arrow for hunting, with enough weight to get easy pass thru shots on whitetail out to 40+ yards.

Are there advantages/dissadvatages to shooting the XX78's over the XX75's? Would I be better off with a different arrow than the X7 for target? I don't need the fattest arrow for target, cause I am not that accurate. Prices will influence my decisions.

How is the Super Swage nock. Any likes/disslikes? Is their an advantage over the Super UNI System?

I am open to suggestions. Thanks ahead of time.

If you are not that accurate or consistently accurate at most distances, you should first put the emphasis on trying to determine why you are not. If your problem does not lie with your shaft selection and shaft setup, the right shaft selection will not do you much good.

Until you do determine why you are not an accurate shot, I strongly suggest you stay away from the 70# DW and go with 60#-65#. If you are having trouble pulling that poundage range (60-65) also, go lower.

I also suggest you not confuse and frustrate yourself with type of aluminum shaft you should go with. Go with either the XX75 or XX78 in the correct spine for length and draw-weight, and forget about it. When your accuracy improves and becomes consistent, then you can get finicky about what type of shaft you want to use.

PS: No arrow shoots flat. However, arrow trajectory arch is lessened to a degree more by the stored energy of the bow than by the weight and setup of the shaft.
