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?

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.

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.
