I HAVE SHOT ACC 3-60 FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS, AND I LOVE THEM. I AM LOOKING FOR A CHEAPER ALL CARBON ARROW FOR TARGET AND 3D. WHAT ARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS?? OR SHOULD I JUST BITE THE BULLET AND BUY A DOZEN ACC??? THANKS FOR YOU INFO.

I've been real happy with the SME Epsilons. Smooth finish, quiet. .003" straightness over 28". I weighed 6 of mine out of curiousity and they were 411, 411, 413, 414, 413 with 100 gr tips 30.5" long. These are the mediums. They're $59.95 a doz from mntnarchery.com. I just bought another doz at the shop I go to. They were on sale for $69.95.

If you want Eastons, get Redline 360s. They are light weight, about $70, and good quality.

Can't go wrong sticking with the ACC's,I've used them for years.IMHO a great 3D arrow.
The fiancee' shoots Redlines and they are extremely tough as well and slightly faster than the ACC's.

CMHUNTER,

I was in the same boat as you a couple of years ago.I had shot ACC 3-49s for several seasons and began searching for a non-bendable alternative.The shafting that won out was the Carbon Express 3D Select.

These babies are even straighter at .001 as compared to .003 and their weight tolerance is as exact as you will find anywhere at +/- 1 grain per dozen.Their press fit Slimline nocks are very similar to ACC G-nocks and weigh only 8 grains plus you eliminate the Uni-bushing.The inside of the shaft is the diameter of an ACC 3-60 so all your componets can be used.These are the arrows you need to take a good look at.

I'm with IL-Cornfed, I have been using Carbon Express 300's for both 3D and hunting and like them better than ACC's. I am sure the Carbon Express 3D Select is even better yet.

The best arrow that I have shot is the Gold Tip 22 series. Same diameter as a 2216. I was shooting 55/75 gold tips and ics 400. The 22 series shot a couple of feet per second faster. It has also been alot easier to tune broadheads for me. The fatter shaft allows you to get better vane clearance. People who shoot them in my club, want them. All this and the fatter shaft cuts a few more lines in our shoots. I've been hunting and target shooting with them for almost 2 years and love them

I would have to agree on the gold tip arrows I got my first dozen of the hunter shafts and they ended up being straighter than there Spec's.
