suggestion on which arrows to buy
Hey everyone,
Its been a while since I have posted here. I am in the market for new arrows for my bow. When I got the bow 2 Years ago I got 5 arrows with it. They are PSE carbon force dominator 300 arrows. I shoot a fred Bear Team Realtree Extreme 32, 67.5-68 pound draw weight, with a 28 inch draw length, 100 grain tip. I am really looking for suggestions on what the members here feel would be good arrows to buy for hunting. I am not particle to manufacture but I have been looking at beeman ics hunters,pse carbon force stealth hunter or pro's, and the verious eastons and gold tips. If anyone can steer me into a smart decision for my needs I would appreciate it. I wish everyone a safe and successfull bowhunting season.

A lot depends on your budget and how heavy you want you arrows to be. I have had good luck on the low end with goldtip xt's and carbon express term lite selects and on the higher end with carbon express maximas. From a price to performance ratio it's hard to be the goldtips or term/selects.

I have moved to carbon tech whitetails and carbon express maximas. I used carbon express edge last year but they quit making them. ACC's are always good, Full metal jackets are good. But all these are expensive arrows.

I have been using ICS Hunters since I got into bowhunting in 2004. They have done well for me and havn't felt the need to experiment. They should work for you.

I myself have moved away from beman anything. Very inconsistent spines which is more important that straightness IMO. I used ICS for 4 years, and before that Hawks. Hawks wasn't too bad and they were a cheaper version.

You don't need Maximas just yet. They are good arrows, but expensive and you aren't likely to see that much of a difference to justify the cost.
Easton/Beman should suffice for now or even Gold Tip XT.
In any case I'd say you are on the edge between a 400 spine and a 340 spine. Either should work, but the 340 would probably give more consistent broadhead flight.
Consider this. Choosing the right spined arrow is much more important than which brand of arrow. Arrows of similar price are going to be similar in quality. Something midrange should do you well. Maybe later on when you have more experience you might want to step uip to something of better quality, but I don't think it's necessary at this point.
