Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Since my 3D season is coming to an early end this year, I am starting to order and get my gear set up for hunting season and get the XT all tuned up.

I planned on shooting a GT pro hunter 75/95 shafts for hunting this year, but now they as well as XT's are on national backorder for 8 weeks or so........too long of a wait for me. I had a dozen of them in the shop and ended up selling them thinking I could just get more ordered [:@]. I would like a shaft that has retail price of $100 or less,I can get just about anything through the shop. I want an arrow w/ a finished weight between 375 and 400 grains, that will include 3 blazers, a wrap, and a 100 grain head. What else would you guys use or have you had good luck with that is around 9gpi?

I was thinking of going w/ Axis arrows..........I have an entire barrel of them at the shop so I am fortunate enough to be able to sort through them and pick the straightest shafts within certain weight tolerances. I am confident that if I sort carefully and trim from both ends I can get a dozen shafts that are acceptable despite their .005 straightness tolerances, however before I do this I am wondering if there is something else I should be looking at.Any other shafts I should be looking at? The CT Whitetails are the same .005 tolerance and same retail price........so I was thinking since I already have Axis in the shop I might as well go w/ those........anyone have anything good or bad to say about Axis 340's?

I'll be shooting Easton A/C Superslims this year. 27.5" 340's w/wraps and 3.125" QuikSpins. So far I love them.

Oh yeah - I'll be shooting Lumenocks as well.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

i go with the 5575s's blazed later on but not right now and with a 125 grain would put you right at 375 grains

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

I know, I have a hard time paying those prices though when I can get them through the shop............[8D]

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

just what price can you get them for... I thought 69$ a doz was pretty good.

(PS, can you get some for me w/ a small surcharge;););))

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Same here, although I might have to bump up to 340's, oh and not wrapped but capped and crested on my homemade cresting table. ;)

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

I will be shooting the GT Pro Hunters.

Rick, look into the 22 series Ultralight Pros. They will finish out in your desired specs and are just as durable as the hunting shafts, even more so when you use the GT pin nocks and adapters.

I would use them instead of the Pro Hunters but I bought 2 dozen of the Pro Hunters last year and only have a dozen of the 22 series shafts (my 3d arrows).

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

A/C Super Slim 400's for me, but they won't qualify for the less than $100 retail price you set. At 28" they are also over the 400 grain limit you mentioned. There is nothing wrong with those Axis arrows you are thinking about and..........they are one tough arrow.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

I have a ton of these shafts for 3D, they just don't fit in my hunting quiver well (too wide). Wanna trade some perfect condition pro 22's for some pro 7595's? [8D]

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Easton Axis 340 tipped witha Slick Trick. For the 3rd year in a row.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Take a look at the Carbon Force X-Weaves. I am shooting the 300's 8.6gpi spine of .359 through my 72# XT and they are flying great.They are around $75 a dozen.Good luck and happy hunting.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

I am currently shooting Axis 340s and have been very impressed with them. They group great and hold up well. I have also heard good things about eastons new Full Metal Jackets. I was shooting in a 3D tourn a few weekends ago and a friend of mine shot through a target and hit a concrete wall with his, not even a scratch on the shaft.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

GT XT hunters 7595 with 3" vanetecs offset. Tipped with thunderhead 125's.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

i just got a dozen cabela's stalker extreme carbons with blazer vanes and i really like them. they were about $65 and have a straightness factor of +-.003 and i am really happy with them.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Axis 400, wac em 100gr heads,blazer vanes 263/4" at 381grs they go through deer like a hot knife goes through butter.;)

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

It's basically the same as the past 4 years..... but Different.[&:] Still shooting 340 ICS Hunters with 125 grain Thunderheads, ACC nock inserts and nocks. The change is I've gone from 4 inch feathers with a little helical to 4 inch quick spins. First thing I've found is they do shoot well. Second thing, the Quick Spins aren't as durable as my old feathers, but they do shoot well. You just can't shoot spots with them. I use a Muzzy Zero so they don't get buggered up that way, just from hitting each other. I still have a bunch of feathered arrows ready to go incase I become disinchanted. They shoot close to the same spot. I did pick up about 25 grains in weigh and lost a few fps speed. OH, about 450 grains.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Eastons FMJ 5" feathers, 100 grains Slick Tricks

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

I'm giving those a try David, should be here tomorrow. Waiting for some new elites.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Easton A/C/C 3-60, wrapped w/ Bowmanhunter wraps and fletched w/ Blazers. 3 tipped w/ Magnus Stinger for deer, and 3 w/ Rocket Hammerheads for turkey.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Either A/C/C 3-60s or A/C super slim 340s. 3" feathers, wraps and lumenoks. Will be tipped with either 100 grain Slicktricks or 100 grain Crimson Raptors. Speed will be anywhere between 285 & 294.

I've been hearing great things about the Carbon Express Maximas. I despise an all carbon arrow but I may just have to give them a try.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Go with the Carbon express maximas. My total weight was 342 grains with blazers 100 grain point and bulldog collars. These are very consistant arrows and very strong. I love em. Check em out. Note: I took a guess on your draw length(30) and I calculated it out and with what you want on a maxima 350 would come out to around 390-400 more or less. Just a quick calculation. Hope it helps.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

I use Gold Tip XT 55/75 with airbrushed/handpainted crestings and these oddball looking feathers that I found at Cabela's. 100gr. Muzzy 3 bladers. I've had good luck with this setup for several years now.

RE: Your hunting arrows for this year?
 

Dang!!! You guys are getting fancy...I'm still shooting Easton XX-78s...31 inch 2413 with 5 inch feathers and 125 Thunderheads...Guess I need to upgrade my bow as well...I've used it about 15 years...and bought it used...:D
