What I have seen on the forums is that people are willing to pay over 700 for a bow without blinking an eye but when it comes to arrows they go the cheap route.
I bought a dozen A/C/C arrows with my Bowtech Allegiance back in March. What I am about to say will make you spend the extra money.

I have shot several different brands of arrows. The most durable arrows I have shot are the Easton A/C/C arrows. I hit my fence with my A/C/C's ( It went through the target and hit the backstop which is my fence)andIfrequentlyhit one arrow with another arrow, and I am still shooting them. As a matter of fact, I have only fletched three arrows so far. I am shocked they lasted so long, four months. I busted five Gold Tip XT's in a couple of months, and I didn't even hit a fence! I have been shooting the A/C/C's twice as long and haven't busted one.

Spending $150 on arrows seems like a lot, but they will last way longer. I haven't busted an A/C/Cyet.At the rate I was going, I would have spend over $210 on arrows each year since I broke an average of two every month. You would then have to go through the hassle of getting the arrows ready for season.I did not do crazy shots with the Gold Tip's either. The damage just came from regular target shooting. I should have already broke eight A/C/C arrows if they were like the Gold Tips, but they are not. They are so much better.
