I prefer the Beman 340 ICS Hunters. That should work perfect for your set up with either 100 or 125 grain heads.

I also like the Gold tip 5575 the only thing I like the Muzzy 100gr 3 blade

I use Beman ICS 400's with 100 grain Rocket Steelheads. Work awesome for me.

I believe that you'll need a new Whisker Biscuit for carbon arrows, since the diameter is smaller. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Everyone I know that uses a Whisker Biscuit shoots carbon arrows and they all use the one made for aluminum arrows. It keeps them from having to trim the &quot;whiskers&quot; as much. Several of them are 3D shooters too (with different bows) and they all claim to get good accuracy and less arrows wear with the alumimum biscuits instead of the ones made for carbons.

As for arrow choice, I really like the the ICS Hunter 340s I'm shooting now, but I'm planning to get a dozen of the Blackhawk Vapor camo shafts in a few months to use for hunting. I like the slick surface of the Beman ICS Hunters much better than the Goldtip 5575's I was also considering when I bought the Bemans.

Thanks for the info about using the aluminum whisker for carbons. Good to know.

RE: carbon arrows?
 

I've had very good sucess with ICS 400's and Thunderhead 100's. They told me at my local proshop that the carbon whisker biscuit was too restrictive and to stay with the aluminum. Works fine for me! Good Luck.

Give Easton carbon evolutions in 400 a try also you can shoot carbons out an aluminum I did it this year and no problems. I use Muzzy 100gr

Carbon Express terminator hunters. a 30&quot; arrow will weigh 541 grains, assuming a 125 grain head. Goes right through deer. The arrows are nearly impossible to break. had one go through a doe, embed the broadhead in a tree, and didnt damage the shaft at all...the broadhead was another story.

I have used ACC 3-39's and really like them, I've been shooting them for about 12 years and can't say enough good about them.

I had great success with Quickstike (59 or 69) shafts by Quest using Acuvane nocks and Splitfire 100 broadheads. I harvested 4 deer using the same shaft and broadhead (replacing the blades each time) and harvested 3 others with another shaft and broadhead. The fourth deer I harvested with the first one broke the top 3 inches off on a pass through shot from a treestand up 30 feet on a 15 yard shot. I purchased a dozen and still have 11. I also use a Whisker Biscuit and have worn out two disk before I wore out the shafts.

My wife shoots Gold Tips 3555 - they work great on her bow.

RE: carbon arrows?
 

jca, with your set up, I would go with Gold Tips 7595's tipped with Muzzy's 100 gr. 3 or 4 blade broadheads. I use the 4 bladed ones and they are awesome, but the 3 blades are very good too. The reason I say to go with the 7595's is because I know a lot of people that could not get perfect bullet holes with the 5575's, and switched to the 7595's, and instant bullet holes, myself included. Gold Tip definitly needs to recalculate their shaft charts because they are a bit off. Gold Tips are the toughest arrow you'll find, and I love mine.

Go with the Beman ICS 340's or 400's! I used the goldtips with the whisker biscuit and their too noisy! The Bemans are deffinately a great choice for your setup!

Epsilons are very good. Extremely hardy and well made. I don't use a whisker rest. I use a dropaway rest on mines.

RE: carbon arrows?
 

Take your pic, Beman ICS or Goldtips, these are the most popular carbon arrows out on the market. Very well made!!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

&quot;Spring Season....the Best&quot;!!!

RE: carbon arrows?
 

Beman ICS 400'rds get my vote. but I've never shot Goltips, so what do I know<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
