whats yal preference??
even tho i fill they're under rated i like shooting the vapor arrows.....may switch to the beman ics camo hunters this yr

I shoot the axis now, have always shot Carbon Express until then. I like them both but like the Axis a little better.

oh yeah i forgot bout the axis....so you like them better then the carbon express? i never been to fond of the carbon express

I never had problems out of the CE, but I really like the Axis, except that they rattle in my quiver (smaller diameter).

i went before bow season last yr to get some beman ics camo hunters and all they had were the small diameter bema team realtree imx and most broadheads won't even screw down all the way on them...i really prefer heavier arrows....i'm just looking for a new brand to try...

I've found the Carbon Express Terminators to be much more durable than Gold Tips. These are the only two brands I have shot recently. The CE's are 10.2g per inch and the GT's 8.something which may have played a role. The gold tip shafts would splinter more easily if they took a glancing blow from another field point (shooting a very tight group into target) or if you had a target pass through or miss and hit the wooden fence. Not that I ever miss and hit the fence : :rolleyes:

i might try the carbon expresses again...i like heavier arrows....to me they fly truer....and they have more kinetic energy on deer

Depends on what you're doing, hunting or target shooting. If your hunting, I've been using Goldtips 5575's for several years. I have a couple that I started using 8 years ago. 8 years and a few pass through shots later, they'll be looking for more blood this season.

driveby how much are those going for a dozen
do you know the weight of them

Easton Axis 400's for me and love them! Don't shoot them in 3D though, they are a mother to pull from the targets.

8.2 grains per inch. I'm not sure about the cost. I haven't bought any in about 3 years. They were always more economical than the Beemans and CX's.

pat's archery should have them right?? when i went in there last year to get arrows they didn't have crap to select from...

Man you aint kiddin'!

Been pricing the Gold tip 5575 Expedition Hunter, crested w/ 4" vanes. $79.99/ dz.

For hunting, nothing wrong with good ole Easton XX75/XX78's.

Pat's hasn't had Goldtips lately. I usually order mine off Ebay.

Good ole aluminum Easton 2213's. Always had great results with them and will use them as long as they are made.

I used the GT 5575 Pro Hunnters last year. They have a +/- 1 grain dz and +/-.001 straightness. I get then thru ArcheryWarehouse.com for, I think, around $89 or $99 a doz unfletched.

Cheapest for that straightness and weight rating.

I have shot the AXIS and something about them I just don't like mainly the grain/straightness rating for the price. Although you can pick up some of last years models for a decent price because they came out with all that Nano stuff.

Thinking about going with the CX Maxima Hunters this year. Bought a couple that I've been shooting and so far I like them. Just don't know if I like them enough to justify the difference in price over the GT's

I've been shooting Gold Tip XT 55/75 Hunters for a long time.

yal talked me into i'm going to try the Gold Tips

Where are you getting them? Cut and fletched or just shafts?

Thinking about going back to those myself. I killed a lot of deer with them.

What length do you need?? Ive got probably 10 new shafts {5575 xt} but they have been cut to 27". Ive switched back to 2213's so I don't need these.

I shoot the easton st epic, good price on em.

my bow has an overdraw on it so I'm shooting 26 inch arrows.....how much you want for them??

Let me go home and see how many Ive got. I will holler at you Mon. morning.

me too

been practicing w/ Beemans and CE terminators this summer...

I got a Cabelas arrowhawk target and the arrows stick out of the back of the target (but dont go in far enough to mess up the vanes)... anyhow the terminators (heavier) penetrate about 2-3 inches more than the Beemans but the Beemans (is it one e or 2?) hit about 2-3 inches higher (flatter traj)

I still have not decided what I will hunt w/ this fall ... been thinking about the Easton Epic... is there really that much difference between a .005 (straightness) and a .003 arrow?

can anyone give me some stats on how much your groups open up if you go to a .005 arrow?

At bowhunting ranges you won't be able to notice.

The tolerance hasn't impacted my shooting a bit. I can kill trees with all types!

Shaw has the pics to prove it!
