Default RE: Arrow preference

Personally I stick with arrows that are .003" straightness. It seems to give a good balance between acceptable straightness and cost.

Most of Bemans and Eastons carbon arrows are +-.005 inches. Which is not very straight. Everyone makes a carbon shaft that is +- .005 or .006 but Easton and Beman do not offer anything striaghter unless you get a carbon/ aluminum arrow. Beman even has some as far out as .011 inches. That could be as much as 22 thousandths of an inch.[][][] That's 1/45th of an inch!!!!!!! Wooden shafts are striaghter.

I do not like Beman and Easton carbon arrows at all. I have shot the Bemans two different times and did not like them either time I tried them. I won't buy them any more. They cost too much for the tolerances that they have.



Carbon Express makes some of the best carbons on the market today and that is what I shoot currently, CX300. I do want to try their Terminator selects to get a heavier arrow.

I also really like the PSE carbon extremes, which I believe are made by the same company that makes CE????????

Gold tips come in second for me and I would stay away from the hunter line. They are very inconsistent.

Go to this link and they give you some good info (chart) on the arrows that they sell.
