Which arrows do you shoot?

Postby Elkonthebrain » 01 19, 2015 •  [Post 1]

Was just wondering which arrows you guys shoot? The last couple years I've been shooting carbon express maxima hunter kv 250. I like them but they quit making them so there getting harder to find.
Also, might be a stupid question. Do certain arrows shoot better out of some bows then others. I'm talking with correct spine and length, are some arrows just better in certain bows than others? Like bullets and rifles.

I shoot Full Metal Jacket Injexions.

The higher quality arrows that have tighter spine and straightness tolerances should shoot better than cheaper models.

Look at the bloodsports by muddy. I shoot the impact hunters with a .300 spine and I believe they are 11.7 gpi. Thats a lot of weight for a lot of penetration, perfect for elk!

Yep... you get what you pay for. I'm an Easton fan. Always have been. To me all of the others are newbies. An arrow with one of the highest tolerances in the industry is the Easton ACC. I shoot their AC Slims. I like an arrow that is smaller than the hole my broadhead punches so I like thinner shafted Slims. The aluminum core wrapped with the outer carbon sleeve is a great design. Not only very straight and consistent but strong. I like the fact that with the aluminum core they will bend without snapping off. But they aren't cheap.

I have used and killed with the Easton carbon injexions tipped with a solid broadhead 125 fixed blade on the front. I have jsut switched to the Black Eagle deep impacts, love trying new stuff.

I have been shooting GoldTip Pro Hunters since 2005 with no complaints so far.

Victory VAP with the .300 spine. They fly great and get fantastic penetration out of my RPM 360. My Switchback is set up using Easton Axis arrows but the RPM will also shoot them. I was pretty fortunate and the weight difference between both arrows is only about 2-3 grains finished weight.
Get out earlier, go farther, stay longer..KEEP HAMMERING
