Which carbon arrows
 
I switched from aluminum to carbon about a month ago. From the 12 arrows I got I have 5 left. 2 have fletch damage and the rest have cracked around the insert or nock. But thats what I get for getting the cheapest ones out there.(24.99 for 6) What carbons can I get for $60.00 or under (a dozen)that are good quality and hopefully won't break. I prefer black finish cause it makes less noise in my WB.Thanks for any help.

I would check ebay and do a search for carbon arrows. I saw a few on there that were going cheap. As far as my preference I bought 6 Easton Axis 340s for around $41. So far these are the best arrows I have ever shot!! Speed, durabillty, and accuracy. Half a dozen is all I need, but I think a dozen of them go for around $75.

I prefer the Easton Excels which typically run around $60 a dozen. They are one of the better less expensive ICS style carbons on the market in my opinion.

try getting the carbon fury or carbon supreme from bass pro...been using them for 3 yrs now and have no complaints at all....they should be in your price range...if not close.

I have to go with fl.huntress. I have had good luck with the carbon fury from Bass Pro. I just ordered another doz. They are on sal right now for less than $35 a dozen. Shipped to your door for about 42 bucks.

Personally I use Gold Tip xt's they are a great arrow and they average about 54 for a dozen.They are better then any other arrow I have boiught and I have some that I use for practice that are 2 years old abd they still fly as straight as the day I brought them home.

Since i switched from aluminum all i have used are Gold Tips. I love them, and they can be had for under 60 bucks if you look around. I havent tried any other carbons so i cant give an opinion on other types. Give the Gold Tips a try im sure you will like them.

I have to ask you where you got the Gold Tip XT's for that price. I cant find them for under $70.

I use GoldTip HunterXT. Round $35 for 1/2 dozen. Shoot straighter and more solid compared to the Eastons Ive shot.

I've been using blackhawks. They fly great and are pretty durable, EXCEPT when I shoot groups instead of spots and I smack one from behind. They are reasonably priced, about $45/dozen.

Spend 10 or 15 more bucks and get yourself some Goldtips

I've shot a lot of the arrows that were listed. Personally I shoot the Easton Axis and love them. I shot the Carbon Excels and liked those but had some durability issues. I would look at the Axis, Gold tips or Beman ICS. Stay away from the Redhead carbons at Basspro.

Ive been using Gold Tip Exp. Hunter 5575 and they hold up against everything none of them have broken or anything and they have hit a variety of things such as trees, poles and they didnt break.

RE: Which carbon arrows
 
you cant go wrong with carbon express but if i had to pick anything else i would say gold tipor vapor blackhawks

I use to spend 120 a dozen on ACC. The past two years I've shot Cabela's Hunters and they are great . About 50 a dozen.

Been shooting goldtips for several seasons now. Great durability and pretty good consistency through out the dozen.

RE: Which carbon arrows
 
Last time I bought Gold Tips XT 5575 on Ebay for $42/ dozen bare shafts. They are the only carbon arrows I've ever shot and I have no reason to switch.

RE: Which carbon arrows
 
i don't want to venture off too far with this...but i was wondering what y'all think of the Easton Epic2 400's...are they a good arrow for an experienced archer or are theyjust a good starter arrow...my bow is set at 50 pounds and the pro shop refered a 125 field tip and fixed head...would y'all recomend the same combination...

hunter9022 09-07-2005 10:42 PM

RE: Which carbon arrows
 
Ill give a vote for easton excels. I really like gold tips now that i shoot them, but id still pick up a dozen eastons if situation arose.

Rammer 09-07-2005 10:50 PM

RE: Which carbon arrows
 
I have to say Carbon Express Terminators. They shoot like a dream in my bow, and thats all any of my buddies shoot that do shoot carbons, and we all love 'em.

RE: Which carbon arrows
 
I just bought my first bow and just got my setup complete - bought Carbon express CX's - so far I am extremely impressed with them

PSENJersey 09-08-2005 08:31 AM

RE: Which carbon arrows
 
My vote is for Easton Axis 340's - fast, extremely strong, and nasty penetration.
