Default arrows

New to the forum and enjoying reading everybody's input. My question is what arrows does everyone prefer. I just bought the carbon express maxima 350's. Wondering if anybody has any input on the weight forward they come with. Also, is there a big difference between the 350's, 45/60s, or 60-75's. Good Huntin' to all.

Welcome to the forums and our disfunctional family!

I prefer Gold Tips.

The carbon express maxima's are good arrows.

I wasn't impressed with how ce obtained their weight forward design though. It is a wrap on the front end of the shaft.

For me, Itry to stay away from wraps and arrows that are camoflaged because they will hide any imperfections. Such as hairline cracks, etc.

I just updated my old bow andbought a Diamond Victory last fall.

I bought a dozen arrows but they were some cheap-os

They're called Whitetail Hunters. I'm not sure who the maker is.

They weigh 12 gpi which I think is quite heavy. I want something else.

I'm also interest in what a good arrow would be and what guys on here favor.

I use gold tip xt hunters, they have a straightness factor of .003. which is straight enough for hunting. I have never had any trouble with these arrows and they are very durable. Ive only had one or two break from hunting and those were becuase i caught inbetween the shoulders and hte shoulders moving broke them. great arrows and reasonable pricedcompared to others of the same quality

I shoot easton axis st and love them. They are super thin so they react less to cross winds while still having a stiff enough spine for a high energy bow. They have great penetration and are very durable. All around the best hunting arrow IMO.

You've made a GREAT choice with the Maxima Hunters, excellent quality shafts. I'm also a fan of the excellect quality of their CX 3D Selects and was glad to see that they are also now offer the Maximas in a Select grade.

I've tried as many different makes and models of arrows from GT to ACC's and I believe the CX's are as good or better than ANY other shaft in the industry.

Good luck and good shootin'
