Best arrows to shoot with Hoyt Ultratec

peck1257 · 03-29-2005, 04:22 PM

I just bought a Hoyt Ultratec and my draw length is only 27.5" and I will have it cranked up to 71 lbs draw weight. I want my bow to shoot as fast as possible, yet I still want to have perfect flight for my arrow. I am probably going to put a whisker biscuit on it, unless the arrow won't fly nicely. Then I will put on a drop away. Please let me know if you have any arrow suggestions for the best flight and speed combo possibly. Thanks.

Mobowhuntr,
Do you recommend any specific arrow? My local archery supply has beman arrows but i'm not sure which one to use.

Nevermind MoBow. I didn't notice you said hunter at first. Thanks.

You absolutely can't go wrong with ACC's but they are pricey.The nice thing is they will last practically forever without shooting the spine out like most all carbon shafts are prone to.

27" 3-60's would be a great choice and maybe even 3-49's according to the charts.

The 3-49's with 100 gr points at 27" should spine perfect for you and provide speed up in the 260 fps- 270fps range depending on fletch.

3-60's are a little stiffer than you need but may be easier to tune fixed blade broadheads with and should still provide plenty of speed.

I would say if you shoot 27" arrows or shorter go with the 3-49's but if you are over 27" go with the 3-60's.

Gotta go pick up daughter from taekwondo but will check back later to see if you have any questions.

"The best" at what? Best speed? Best accuracy? Best consistency? ACC's are the best overall, but you compromize a little on speed to get the best consistency. They make a good size dent in your wallet, but you gotta spend money to get the best. At least you know you'll get a dozen useable arrows out of each dozen you buy.

If it was me, I'd just blow off some arrow speed, get top quality and save myself some money by getting XX78's. But that's just me.
