Okay, so I gotta buy new arrows this year. Only my second year to deer hunt, but I only started out with four arrows and lost one so...long story short, I gotta get some more!

Many people have said that the gold tips set the standard. If so, which ones??? Do I go out and buy the most expensive ones? Or, is there really much difference between GTs or Beman or Easton. ( I think Beman and Easton are the same company...am I right?)

I'm just trying to figure out what will be best for my $$.

What sort of fletching do you guys recommend? Are vanes better than feathers or vice-versa? I've seen some vanes that are shorter than others, what does the length do to performance?

Last but not least, I have some pretty cheap broadheads right now, should I invest in some new ones? If so, Are Muzzy heads the best? 3 or 4 blade?

Thanks for all of your help!

I have found that many carbon arrows are the same.. you can spend just about as much money as you want... as for broadheads... i have shot muzzys in the past and they are very reliable, i switched to RAGES this year.... muzzy 4- blades are the way to go for those though

Lotta choices out there, but you're gonna get what you pay for.

Like Hoosier said, carbon arrows are the way to go. I like Carbon Express Maxima Hunters, personally. Good spine, very straight, holds its integrity. ACCs are great. I just boughta half-dozenless expensive PSE X Weave Predators for just over $40. I took about 100 shots with them last night and I like them a lot so far. Hard to beat Carbon Express in my opinion though. As far as vanes go, I like Blazers. Regular Blazers and also Blazer Quick Spins have been good for me. You might hear some trash talking about the Quick Spins though.

One thing not mentioned is tuning your bow to theSPECIFIC arrows you're gonna hunt with. I don't see how people can switch up arrows and have them all fly true.

Pick one.....go with it....tune your bow to IT....and don't switch up (without re-tuning).

The ones I have now are Beman Ventures. They were a gift. I plan to stick with whatever I get, so I just wanna make sure I have made a wise purchase.

Thanks for all of the advice!

IM shooting Beman ICS Hunter 400's. They fly good from my bow.
