Default RE: Arrow Brand

I use whatever arrow is best for the application I intend to use it for. I believe the top names and premium arrows out there are all pretty good choices.

I think I will continue to use Pro 22's for my 3D arrows for quite some time, because they are the lightest big diameter/linecutter style arrow out there with enough spine for a 70lb bow w/ speed cams.They have pretty good weight/straightness tolerances too. Since they are soooo darn stiff, they also seem to not have problems with any inconsistencies in spine, I think spine becomes less of a problem when severely overspined as compared to under spined. I was actually shooting them last night out of the allegiance just for kicks at a 3 spot vegas target andwas just pounding that 10 ring all night with a pins setup at well over 300fps, not your traditional spots setup but it shot great. I would also consider Carbon Tech Hippo's and Carbon Express CXL2's if I ever decide to start shooting 60lbs instead of 70lbs for 3D.

I will probably be using either the Carbon Tech Whitetail XP, or Gold Tip Pro Hunters. I have considered trying the ACC's but I really like all carbon durability for hunting.

For indoor, this year I am trying Easton x7 Cobalts in 2512. I will be shooting the Constitution at 60lbs, so according to Ontarget2, I have them cut to 32" w/ 173 grains in the front of them.
