RE: new arrows? need help
ORIGINAL: Black Stick
There is no advantage to having camo shafts. I always use the blacks because they are cheaper, and faster. I cannot tell you exactly how much faster they will be, but I can promise you that they will be faster. I think the rule is 5grains = ±1ps. If you have 28" arrows, and are shooting 60#, you will need 400 spines on the Beman ICS Hunters and CamoHunters. The ICSCamo Hunters weigh 9.1 gpi or 254.8 grains for the shaft alone. The ICS Hunters weigh 8.4 gpi or 235.2 grains for the shaft alone. That is a difference of 19.6 grains or about 4 fps. So, not much faster, but still faster.
