looking for help
#1
I haven' t been logged on for awhile. Us New Yorkers only get to bow hunt from 10-15 to 11-15 this year. Anyways... things got tight this year with money and I bought 12 carbon arrows in September from Dick' s Sporting Goods for 29.99 / 6. The name is Monster Buck Hunter by Vapor. THEY SUCK! The fletchings on 6 of them have peeled off. I' ve shot them maybe 50 times and I' m using a drop away rest so there is no reason for this. Anyway I can' t find any information on this company. I have their package, and of course, they even know there arrows are SOOOOOO bad they didn' t include their address or phone number for me to complain. If any body has any information on this company let me know. For the rest of you guys and girls....DON' T BUY THESE ARROWS!!!!
Good luck this year!
Good luck this year!

There are a couple of sayings that are true most of the time." If it' s too good to be true it usually is" and " you get what you pay for" .I' m sure we have all overpayed for some products but I would rather go with a known,trusted namebrand.You owe it to the animal you hunt and yourself,for all the hard work you have gone through to be able to get close enough to take the shot.nybowhunter,thanks for the warning.You should also post it on the bowhunters gear review board.So no one else buys those lousy arrows.Thanks again

I used Blackhawk Vapors last yr without any problems and am planning on using them this yr too. I bought mine as shafts from Eders and fletched them myself. I use feathers outa a Wisker Bisquit and have never lost a feather. Guess I' ve been lucky.....FYI- These are the same shafts that Cabelas markets as their brand.

I had horride luck with my blackhawk vapors. All six lost thier flechings, and the nocks/nock end of the shaft kept spliting. If fact out of the 6 I only have two whose nocks didn' t split. I seen numerous other complaints about them. Whiel I may have just gotten a bad half dozen I know I' ll never buy them again. IMHO.
