Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Carbon Arrows?

Easton came out with an traditional axis arrow this year. The traditional graphics makes them heavier than the standard Axis.

I have used fiberglass, aluminum, cedar, fir, maple, ash, chundoo, bamboo, Beman MFX, Easton Axis, FMJ's, Carbon tech, Gold tip, and Victory.

I prefer the skinny carbons, but they are all good if properly tuned to the bow and have enough mass.

Almost all of my experience is with traditional bows, so keep that in mind.

XX78 aluminums primarily for hunting,CX Bluestreaks,CX predator series,Radial X weave,Easton excel st,pile drivers,victory vaps,mfx traditionals all seem to be pretty good. The Radial X weaves and the Blue Streaks were the most accurate but all were good.

I shoot a Matthews Heli m set at 60 pounds. I was using Easton 400 powerflights and getting 260 feet per second. I switched to Cheetah's 35/60's and that moved my speed up to 287 feet per second. I can really see the difference with a much flatter shooting arrow without having to move the poundage up on the bow.

I looked at "Da'Torch" at the local shop yesterday. I would try them if I could afford them, but at $180/dozen there's now way...I loose to many under the grass. I use Gold Tip Hunters in my compound.

I ended up buying a doz CE carbon Bluestreak selects, just need to fletch them up!

Easton ACC's for the wheels, CE Heritage for the curve.

Beman ICS Hunter 400.

Again...check out deer crossing archery arrows. These folks are for real. Quality products, very good prices, tons of options

will check out the deer crossing

Shoot Gold Tips, ACC, ICS, Pile drivers and teh Cabelas brand now. Pick up when on sale

All shoot well. The quality of carbon arrows has really improved last 15 years

CX Terminator Hunter Selects. I don't know if they make them anymore, but I bought a crapload years ago from Hunter's Friend, and they are still going strong.

What are their straightness tolerances, they don't seem to list that spec!

Easton Axis 340's here.

Ackleyfan, their arrows are generally offered in 3 straightness/price catagories. .006,.003, .001 and price goes up as tolerences tighten. The .001 are priced with other premium arrows. But the .006 which is a pretty decent shaft for most hunters runs about half that. Maybe even less than half

Thanks Ackley
