Arrow Confusion...
 
So tomorrow I'm planning on going to Sportsman's Warehouse to pick up a few things for my bow. Included will be a half dozen new arrows. I can't choose between the two though. Which do you think I should go with?

I shot the GT Expedition Hunters last season with good results, but considering they're the same price...

These are the only two that I'm choosing between, so please no [Insert Other Brand] replies.

Expeditions the same price as Axis's? I thought the expeditions were a step below the XT's. My advice would be if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Gotta ask.........why those 2?:D

They wouldn't be my 7th or 8th choice?[:-]If it's a money thing I can understand for sure, not baggin on ya, what's your price range?
and I hate to say it but.........1/2 doz? Your REALLY careful with your arrows huh?;)
I abstain from voting for now.

Im not positive but I think expeditions are a step below xt's and then there are the pro something or other.

Well, I'm in total agreement with Matt. Why only those two?

If it's gotta be one or the other then I would go with the Axis over the expeditions.

I shoot the Axis ST 400s. I love them.

I've still got a dozen of the Expeditions. I was planning on picking up another half dozen of them just to have. Because the store ordered a large shipment of the Axis' they put them on sale. They're going pretty cheap right now.

If I had to chose, I would chose the Easton ST Axis 400 arrows. They are straighter by .001". I have heard many replies on whether a hunter can tell the difference between a .006" arrow and a .003" arrow. I do not whether anyone here can tell, but if they are the same price, why not get the better ones? I did not like my Gold Tip XT arrows very much. They were way to brittle for me. I have heard of some problems with the HIT system and broadhead alignment, but I also heard they fixed it. If I had to chose between those arrows, I would pick the Easton ST Axis 400's.

You couldn't run after me fast enough to make me shoot the expeditions. With a .006 tolerance on straightness your starting off with a bent arrow to begin with. If your going to cut corners, it wouldn't be with the arrows. You have a high quality bow, how do you expect to shoot good using junk bent arrows? Save your money for a better quality.
