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.

GT xt hunter....sweet

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

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.

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

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.

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

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

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

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.

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

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

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

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.

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

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.

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

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.

You really should go with....[Insert Other Brand]


:D

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Personally I would opt for the Eastons, not necessarily because of the style of carbons they are but more so because I have always had good experiences with Easton products.

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

I would have to vote neither but if I have to choose between the two theI would go with the Gold Tip's.

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

You'll never hear a bad word from my mouth about GT.

Plus you can feed hungary people in UT with your purchase, rather then feeding a hungary person in China. When I got into archery about 13 years ago, every thing has made in USA stickers or logos on it. Now it's a rareity that I find something made on North America let alone the USA. Buy the GT's and feel good about the quality product that you purchase. :)

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

So I got to the store and looked around a bit, talked to a couple differen't guys, and finally ended up going with the XT's instead of the Expeditions. They were only $10 more so I figured what the hell.

Thanks for the help guys.

Like some acc's

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

i love gold tips but i think that the easton makes a better aluminum arrow than carbon
easton are made inUSA salt lake city, utah

RE: Arrow Confusion...
 

I like both choices of arrow's , but now I'm shooting the Axis's and I do like them very much ,although I've heard plenty of problem's with them I haven't experienced them as of yet .I knowI never ever had problem's with the Gold Tip's ever and so far none with the Axis's ,so right now I prefer the Axis's .
