It has been like Christmas for the past couple of days around my house. I got one batch of arrows from ebay and two more from my local archery shop. I couldn't wait to try the new ACC's. They have a white crest with red and purple barred feathers and are the nicest looking arrows that I have ever seen. I shot all five of them, careful to not aim at the same spot. Not great groups, but not terrible either. Next I tried the new Easton Maxum deuce 2213's. All of a sudden I was Randy Ulmer! I had my 7 year old twins stand back and tell me which ones were quieter when I shot. "The pretty ones are the loudest" was the reply that I got...and the reply that I expected. For whatever reason, aluminum arrows look, fly, sound and feel better to me. As much as I wanted to fall in love with those ACC 3-39's, I am going with the 2213's from here on out for this hunting season. I might put a rubber band around those ACC's and put them on the mantle above the fireplace to show off to people, but I will be hunting with 27" maxum deuce 2213's with feathers out of my Q2 @ 57 lbs.
