changing to carbons
 
I am considering changing from aluminums to carbons. I shoot a Champion Bow with a 29" arrow length( and a realease). The bow is currently set at 55# but would like to work my way up to 60-65# draw weight after I recover from shoulder surgery. I plan on hunting whitetails and eventually moose and elk here in Manitoba. I think that I will be using a 125 gr broadhead. Have not decided on whether or ot it will be a RM Snyper or a conventional broadhead. What do you savy hunters suggest to use for carbons and broadheads in your experience. Thanks in advance for your assistance and guidance.

I like the Easton K2 arrows, thay are great shafts and hit hard. If you can get them you will be happy.

I've had great whitetail success with Gold Tips and 125 gr NAP Spitfires. I'm drawing between 63 and 65 lbs. I'd switch to a Thunderhead or a G5 for the elk or moose.

Take a look at P.S.E.'s Carbon Force I use them on Moose and deer they're light and shoot flat.

GOLDTIP XT 5575, NAP SHOCKWAVE OR SPITFIRES.

Beman ICS 400 is my arrow of choice. Very durable at a reasonable price.

I hunt deer and elk with the same arrow. I use a CX60/75 Terminator hunter. It gives me great penetration on elk with a cut on impact broadhead. Good luck!!!!

Gold Tip. Great arrow with a great add-on weight system.

I am another one to say Gold Tips, they are a great durable arrow, and shoot great, and if you want more KE, they have a great weight system, but waait for their even better arrow they are coming out with, it is supposed to be the most durable, and best shooting arrows yet!
