What carbon arrow?
 

Hey guys, I have been away for a while and am sort of out of the loop. I was hoping you could bring me up to speed on which carbon arrow is the latest and greatest these days. I have been admiring Blackhawk but I have no experience with them. I have some varied success with Beman ICS in the past but would rather try something new. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.................Crashman.

Though I haven't had any experience hunting with them, I like my Gold Tip Expedition Hunters.

They were only $29.99 at the local shop, I really like them.

Another vote for Goldtips.Been shooting XT 5575 Hunters for a couple of years and they shoot great.

If you want perhaps the latest.......check out the new skinny Easton Axis arrows. After hearing good reviews in the tech forum, my local shop is fletching 1/2 dozen of the 340 size for me.

I would like to second the suggestion of the Easton Axis arrow. I have been very impressed with mine, to the point where I might just retire my ACCs.[:-]

The Axis seem very consistent in weight, all broadheads I have installed in them spin perfectly, and they shoot well. The are a little heavier than some carbons, so if you are interested in the very fastest arrow, these are not it. My 29" 400s with vane weigh just over 400 grains. Shooting at a brand new Makenzie Aim Rite core, my 60# dual cam bow was driving these arrows through the core so the points were sticking out the far side. The other thing I noticed was that they pulled from the foam easier than any carbon I have ever shot. I have yet to see a down side to these arrows. If there is one, I guess it would be their small diameter, and fletch clearance. Mine are fletched with a left offset, so it is not a problem to shoot them with a prong rest or Starhunter. I'll probably fletch them with a full helical, and shoot the Whisker Biscuit. A drop away would work well with these arrows for those who like them.

I am shooting the 340's. 27" 4" feathers and 75 gr tips. 364grains.

68#
28" draw
278-280fps

And might I add, these are as tough as nails!!

I use Carbon Express cx hunters.

I think you'd be hard pressed to beat ACCs.

29" 3-60s, 4" feathers, cresting wraps, 100 grain tips, 409 grains @ 299fps w/my setup.

I have shot several deer with the same arrow over the years and they have held up perfectly. I've had the same 6 arrows for about 5 years.

Gold Tip XT's, 30.00 for half a dozen and straighter than any at that price. I shoot them and they shoot very accurate. They are made in the good old U.S.A. as well.

I've tried many different arrows and am now shooting blackhawks.I just started shooting them last year and they are VERY accurate and group great! (extremely fast as well):)
