YUP, you got the wrong arrows... especially if you shoot fixed broadheads. Don't rely on anyone. Use this guys charts, they're right.

I'd give him a call & explain that you would like to trade the arrows for the correct ones. But what gets me is the price. I thought you said you wanted cheaper arrows or are the FMJ's that much more?

ummm I shoot a 29 in draw 70lb Trykon and I use Beman 340's and they are some of the most accurate arrows i've ever shot, i've never shot closer groups than I have with that setup

Im not one to tout a business, especially places likeWal Mart orBass Pro,but if you ever pass through Oklahoma City, "Oklahoma Archery" is an excellent shop in my opinion. When I went in about4 years ago to get my first bow, I knew nothing and it was fairly obvious. They could have taken serious advantage of my lack of knowledge, but they didn't. I had told them that I was not looking to spend a fortune, so they worked with my budget and gave me the best quality that I could afford, even threw in a few freebies. I ended up with a great setup (Martin Cougar 2000, Whisker Biscuit Deluxe, Impact Archery 3 pin sight, hunting and practice quivers, full set up of the bow,12 Carbon Excell arrows (spined correctly I might add), a bag target, and about an hour of free instruction forjust over $500. You guys know all to well how fast the little things add up. After a little practice that first year I was getting 5-6 inch groups at 40 yds, and never had to make any major adjustments after their initial setup. Its pretty fast too for not being a parallel limb, I guesstimate in the 280-290 range. My neighbor shoots a Switchback and it seems to keep up with that. Your not going to get bargain basement prices, but then again your not going get ripped off or buy crap either. These guys are hunters that really love to share their knowledge and they value their customers, so they provide great service. Great folks. Anyway I just wanted to throw this in. Best of luck to you guys this season.

ya, bass pro had a dozen easton axis carbon shafts at $102 and thats what he had them for. then I said I wanted to have some wraps put on (I got these ones that had primos decals on them, white with orange fade it goes with my bow really good) I know $15 is about what wraps go for maybe these were a little more I dont know.
I checked the length of the shaft and it was not even 28 & 1/4" long!! I ordered 29"!!!!!!
He isnt open on monday but tomarrow im giveing him a call. Ill leave it on the answereing machine.
im thinking from now on I build my own arrows! now all ill have to do is get a cutter for these things.[:@]

no no no send them my way and that way you dont have to exchange them, and you dont have to argue with the owner.
If you are serouse send me a pm. I would like to just unload them, rather than go back to that guy. then Ill just figure out whats the right size and get them from bass pro. Thanks!!!:D
