arrow opinions
 

I am replacing my goldtips and I was thinking of trying Beman ICS Hunters or Easton Lightspeeds, does anybody use either of these? I would like to hear your results if so.

Personally I would stick with the gold tips. I used the ics hunters for a while and honestly I think that they may actually lose their straightness after a while. I know im probably gonna get flamed for that but I truly do believe that it happened. I know the saying is that carbon is either broke or straight but i dont believe it to be true, not in the long run that is. Gold tips are the best carbon arrow ive ever shot. Used the same arrows for 2 years. They were abused too. A few robin hoods and nocks were busted off many times. JMO that the gold tips are a more durable shaft.

Not a fan of the ICS Hunters either.....That finish makes for poor vane adhesion...

The Lightspeeds are good arrows though.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll cross the ICS off the list. I'm only changing brands because I'm tired of waiting for goldtips to get in stock. You can't find them anywhere around here.

You can definately shoot the spine out of a carbonarrow after a while.I would not choose the Beman's either.

I understand what you mean about Gold Tip.....We can't get any either....Check out Carbon Express...

RE: arrow opinions
 

I agree about the Carbon Express. I have been really impressed with the Maxima shafts. They are as tough or tougher than anything else out there and they fly great.

RE: arrow opinions
 

I second the Carbon Express suggestion.

RE: arrow opinions
 

CE Maximas are the best carbon that I have ever shot and I think that I like them better than the ACCs I used to shoot.

Just my .02 cents.

I will be upgrading from the CX 300 to the Maxima, once the season ends here in MD.
Is there a big difference in the way the Maxima and the Maxima Hunter shoot?
