Does anyone shoot Beman anymore?
 

Lots of talk about carbon and all the different choices, but from what i have read, few people seem to be a fan of the Beman Hunter series. I had a set and loved them but admitedly, have noticed their specs relative to price, are not as good as others.

What's the word on these arrows?

RE: Does anyone shoot Beman anymore?
 

I have shot the Beaman ICS Hunters and have no complaints. I have shot them for about 5 years and don't plan to change.

I shot them last year. I switched to gold tip this year. The GT's seem to fly a bit better to me. IMHO.

I've been shooting them for about 4 years. They seem to work fine. However, I may try XX78s again after shooting some of my recurve XX78s through my Darton the other day.

I have a dozen of the ICS Hunters and I like them. However I am looking into picking up 1/2 dozen Gold Tip and Easton arrows to do some comparisons.

Should I switch? My new rest requires a longer arrow.

I've used them for about 4 years. Between the deer and hogs I've stuck and the "Robin Hood" I shot once, I'm down to six of the dozen I started with. They have been good, tough arrows. :eek:

Only you can answer that question. ;) Since you need new arrows either way it might be worth looking into Beman. Perhaps instead of buying 1 dozen pickup 1/2 dozen of Beman and 1/2 dozen of another arrow so you can see which works best?

I've been comparing my ICS Hunters to the Gold Tip XT's that I recently picked up. So far I'm not able to see a difference.

My cousin shoots them problem free. i was going to get Beman ICS hunters but changed my mind as the proshop owner gave his take on it. so i went with Carbon Express CX-200's and havnet looked back. probably hte best carbon arrows being made right now, Carbon Express.

I use to shoot bemans way back when they had the outserts. Do they still have outserts? That is why I got rid of them. I was tearing the fletchings off because the outsert made a hole bigger than the shaft and I always got pass through on my foam target. It just got old. I absoultely loved the shafts aside from that damn outsert.

Now that I've been shooting GT I think it is unlikely that I'll switch any time soon. They are a bit more exspensive but worth every $0.01 IMHO.
