I used the Beman ICS Hunter shafts last fall for hunting & they workd very well for me. They shot good, proved to be durable, and don' t cost that much. I was happy with their performance using mechanical heads on deer. I found I got good groups out to 40 yards and think they make a great arrow for hunting deer. I have been experimenting with a lot of carbon arrows in the last few years and this is how I rank them.

1. ACC' s - they are the best hunting arrrow on the market in my opinion!
2. Carbon Express CX shaft - from my testing they perfrom great, are durable, and shoot awsome!
2. Beman ICS Hunter & Vapor ACA Black shaft - I have found these two shafts are just about the same in perfromance. The Beman might be a little more durable.
3. Vapor ACA Camo shafts - same perfromance as the black shaft with a more durable finish than the Bemans or Eastons.


Of course everyone seems to find something that works for them so you need to do the same! see if you pro shop has a few spares laying around from the various companies & try one of each till you find the arrow you really like the best!
