RE: carbon arrows for hunting and 3d.
I have shot the 3D selects for hunting and consider the weight of the shaft to be a little on the light side. I like a heavier shaft for hunting. Any of the major brands are good. Just a little info as far as weight.
Beman ICS hunter (400)- 8.4 grains/inch
Gold Tip (5575)- 8.5 gr/inch
CX Hunter (300)- 9.4 gr/inch
CX Terminator - 11-12 gr/inch
I personally like the gold tips. I am shooting Beman ICS hunters now for 3D. I will probably go with the Terminators or CX hunter for hunting. I rarely shoot over 30yards while hunting whitetails. I had rather have penetration over trajectory.
just my opinion.
