RE: which arrow
 

I've always preferred aluminum but this year went to carbons. I'm using Beman ICS Hunters and they seem like pretty decent arrows.

I had some bugs with my St Axis, but once that got worked out I love them. Love the concept too. They are a little pricy though. Some friends of mine use Gold Tip and swear by them. I have taken notice and have looked at them carefully. I think they are a really good value, and what I'd recommend for the money. Acc's are awesome shafts, but are costly. My advice is to spend as much as you have to to get the results you need.

I have recently switched from Gold Tip XT 5575 to BlackHawk Vapors
4000 just because my archery shop doesn't handle the Gold Tips. They
are pretty close to the same and I like both just fine, I think that they
are both in the $6 to $8 range.

Before you spend big bucks on carbon, check out a quality aluminum arrow like Easton's XX-78. They will take much more abuse than the base line Gamegetter aluminum and will last a long time, if you hit the target.

what about redhead carbon fury arrows or easton carbon x-cel

The Easton Carbon Excel is a great arrow, and IMO, for the money you can't beat them. The specs are the same as the Gold Tip XT Hunter. I've been shooting them for a while, even robinhooded one the other day. They take lots of abuse and shoot very well. No, the tolerances aren't as tight as some of the top end arrows, but for the average archer, such as myself, it's not a difference I am going to notice. Go with the Excel. Excellent choice. In fact, at our shop, it's our top selling arrow.

RE: which arrow
 

I like the arrow dynamics nitro stinger tapered arrows myself, however most modern carbons work fine as long as they are not the bargain basement stuff. To get a quality carbon you have to be willing to spend the money. I have since switched to aluminums because for the same or less money you get better tolerances and quality control. I have not seen an arrow yet that will not break or bend if you abuse it. Never messed up an aluminum that would not have damaged a carbon as well.

And don't believe that crap about a carbon either being straight or broken. That is a myth and simply not true. Carbon can and will go bad, they will warp and loose spine. Heck some are not that great right of the box.

Another thing to consider with aluminums is the size you are shooting. If you are shooting the lighter arrows with thin walls they are easier to ding and bend. However the thicker arrows are a bit more tough, they just weigh more.

ok thanks guys right now i going with the carbo xcel arrows and muzzy three blade broadheads unless somebody can change my mind:eek:

RE: which arrow
 

I use the Gold Tip XT 5575 and Muzzy three blade. The Gold Tip's have proven nearly indestructible and very accurate. Without igniting a bonfire of debate, I would also like to say that theMuzzy's are tough heads thatproduce humane kills andgood flight characteristics.
