Arrows

[Code-Man]

I'm looking at hunting arrows for my Drenaline just wondering what people would suggest and grain. I have a shorter draw so don't know how much that would affect it or not. Last year I shot Beamen ICS Hunter Blazers 340 but I changed my rest this year to a drop a way.

What length do you cut your arrows to? What poundage do you regularity shoot? What grain field tips or broadheads do you shoot?

[DonBo]

Switching rests shouldn't have any effect on the arrows you're using. If your Beamans were flying good before, they should be just fine now.

Those Bemans you shot will be fine. Why the change? I could name 20 or more shafts that you could shoot given your criteria. Any you've narrowed it down to? Maybe I could help out with the spine once you've seleced a few you like in your price range.

60 lb Draw. currently they are cut to 29.5" but need to get them resized with the new rest. 340 are the weight. I shoot muzzy's 100 grain.

I shoot carbon express maxima and like them but there spendy

Love the Maximas and Maxima Hunters. I hate the Aramid KV. Not durable at all.

Code- We need to know the cut length for what they will be to give you the best advice.. if only cutting a small ammnt, the arrows you have should be fine, if cutting up to an inch then maybe some new arrows are in order..

I use maxima for hunting and like them a lot.

Yeah in this case length matters!!!

I still shoot my Easton ACC's. I think I've been shooting them for about 15 years. They are pricey but I'm only on my second dozen arrows during that time. Don't get many line cutters in a spot league however.

Once I find something I like, I stick with it!

Only 2 dozen arrows in 15 years! You must not retire any arrows eh? Seems like I go through a dozen a year but when you chase turks around with the bow, a large quiver is in order

I started out with XX78 2315 Superslams. Once those were gone I moved to carbon with Terminator Hunter Selects for a year, then then onto CX shafts for a few more, then Maxima Hunters, then Easton Axis FMJ's, and now Aramids. I enjoy fletching and having a quiver full of new arrows.

[Code-Man]

I think they are cut around 29 inches plus or minus 1/2 inch.

Since I bought a cabin I spend a lot of time up there and don't shoot as many 3D shoots as I used to. That is where I lose the most arrows.

If I shoot a buck that makes B&C then I'll retire that arrow. Until then I hope for pass throughs and the ability to recycle arrows!!

[sticknstring]

I like to retire arrows although it's getting expensive these days. First deer, first buck, first turkey, etc. Makes a good keepsake next to a mount or picture. You might be shooting those ACC's another 15 years if you're holding out for a B&C in MN!

[archerystud]

It doesn't have to be B & C for me to shoot, just B & C to retire the arrow.

To date the only 2 arrows (actually 4 I guess) I've retired were robin hoods. Since I switched to a five spot target years ago, I thankfully haven't had another robin hood.
