Default 3d arrows?

I am looking at buying some 3d arrows and I was wondering if I should go with fat shafts or the thinner shafts?

That's what I was thinking but then I thought about wind drift with the big shafts. Do you think wind drift it would make a big difference?

You suck.

I don't think your going to see a significant downfall from wind experiences vs the points you could gain from going fat. The plus's vs minus's on fat shafts still are win towards fat shafts.

BUT, you still need to hit where your aiming regardless.

I shot a 304 today with thin shafts.


If you are shooting longer stakes,shoot some high quality thin shafts but if you shoot the closer stakes,the fat shafts MIGHT get you a point or 2,especially if you are shooting for 12's.

Fatter the better. You WILL cut a line or 2 you wouldn't have w/ small diameter arrows. You will. I personally shoot 2613 X7's that have a .406 OD.
