RE: Another question from Mr. Ignorant
 

Jimbohunter1,Do yourself a favor and don't go cheap on the arrows.I've been there and done that,it will just cost you more in the long run.I shoot an LX,30in.draw@63lbs,and my arrows are cut @28.5-so my set-up is close to yours.This year I tried to go with the Axis-400's,and they seem to preform OK,but I have issues with the straightness.I also gave the Gold-Tip Pro-Hunters(5575's),very nice arrows,but they would only weight out to 379grs and I want to shoot 413-418grs.
Well,after all that,I'm going with what I wanted in the first place-ACC-3-60's.These are some great arrows,[email protected],100gr.tip,and 4in.Duravanes,they weigh in at 415grs.No straightness or spine questions with the ACC's,and they group great.
By the way,I buy bare shafts and set my own arrows up.A couple of my hunting buddies shoot the same draw as I,so I just sell them the ones that don't make it in my quiver!Good Luck...Bob

Stay far away from the Ebay arrows. What guys are doing is buying 5-6 dozen at a time, checking their weight, spine and consistency, pulling out the best to make up a good, matched set for themselves and selling their culls. Technically, the arrows are still brand new, but they've been picked over. What you're actually buying is the crappy shafts that are someone else's rejects.

I'd second Double Creek's recommendation.

RE: Another question from Mr. Ignorant
 

I was thinking along the same lines, Double Creek. $50 or $60 seems a lot more reasonable than $120. And what would I do with all those arrows? Six of them should last me a year or two and if I don't like them, I can just try some different ones.

Easy, greasy. :D Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning Adams? BTW, for the record, I spent half "a grand" on my bow. ;)

RE: Another question from Mr. Ignorant
 

I respectfully disagree, My wife has 100+ pairs of shoes, I have only a couple extra dozen sets of arrows. It's just not fair:D IMHO You can't have enough arrows.

RE: Another question from Mr. Ignorant
 

jim, do not listen to them about ebay, you can get brand new shafts still in the box the same shafts or arrows that you can buy from a shop, all you need to do is go to a shop and get them cut on a HIGH speed cutter ( 8000RPM not a dremel) and the inserts installed, but think about us bread and butter shops out their we are here to help and we need to feed out families. gold tip are great arrows so are pse and carbon express actually they are all good but do you need .001 straightness NO .006 is good enough for whitetail and shots under 70 yards heheheh..so do not spent 120$ a dozen unless you are getting 2 dozen with feathers, unless you want to, as for vanes or feathers depends on what you want then to look like . I shot vanes up intill 2 years ago and now I shoot 5 inch feathers, I just wanted a better FOC and less weight out back, feather are forgiving and I think they last longer but you have to treat them kinder, and waterproof them if you hunt in the rain (which I dont) hope this helps...

RE: Another question from Mr. Ignorant
 

You can take the arrows out of the package, check them out, keep out the good ones and replace them with the bad ones from another package, seal 'em up and, since they are unused, you can sell them as new. There was quite an enlightening thread on that subject last summer. One that certainly lowered my opinion of quite a few people on this forum. According to the number of people that said they are doing that, the practice certainly appears to be widespread.

The simple fact is, you have no way of knowing whether you're getting shafts as packaged at the factory or if they've been repackaged by someone who's selling you their culls.

Buyer beware!

Art P:

I clearly recall the thread. It got a little hot. What was hard to swallow was that those that were doing it also recommended that others do it, and the perps just could not see the deception and wrong involved; or they did/do and their character is also inferior.

RE: Another question from Mr. Ignorant
 

Authur P ! thank's for that little tip ,although I haven't bought arrow's off of e-bay I have bought lot's of other gear for my bow and had been considering buying arrow's .Thank's again

I have used P.S.E.'s Carbon "Force arrow's and thought for the money that they were among the cheapest arrows to buy ,they also weren't bad shooters .

RE: Another question from Mr. Ignorant
 

I think for your setup especially if you crank it up, you'll need to go to to the 7595's on the goldtips to spine right. And it'll only add 20 grains or so.

RE: Another question from Mr. Ignorant
 

Wow! I must have missed that thread. Fortunately, I buy all mine from a local bow shop that I trust. I just can't imagine doing that, and then posting on a public forum that you did. :eek:
