    Re: advice on arrows

    I use GT 5575 XT. If you are looking for GT arrows give Ted a call at T&F Country Sports in Prince George. He is a Lic Hoyt dealer and his prices are the same as Heartland/National Archery. His # is 250-961-3083.

    I also use bags stuffed with wrap and I also use "The Block". Both work great.

    Re: advice on arrows

    I would like to thank everyone who took the time to give their oppinion about arrows I am going to give carbon a try. I have a buddy who sells bows and makes arrows in his basement (good deals on both). I am going to order 12 and maybe even a new bow.

    thank Doug

    happy easter and remember jesus saves!

    I used to only shoot aluminums and five years ago I decided to shoot carbon. I will never go back. they are always strait, way tougher and get great penitration ( not as good as a heavy aluminum, but good enough) the key is to shoot heavy carbons, which means there expensive but worth it. I shoot a beman 340 carbon hunter, and there awsome! heavy arrows fly better and penetrate better. just to confirm arguments I shot a moose with carbons at 58 yards arrow went right through him. shot a goat at 20 yards from the front, arrow went into his chest and out his butt and landed on the rocks and its still in my quiver today with a new broadhead of course! Thats the impresive ones, but I have more too. the key is though is you have to shoot a drop -away rest with carbons of else you will have trouble gettin fletch clearence with the small diameter and your arrows wont fly good. get a drop away and tight helical fletch heavy carbons and you will never go back. oh yeah and shoot a light broadhead that still has a good cutting diameter to balance your arrow! I shoot 85 grain thunder heads. thanks

    Re: advice on arrows

    With my bow i shoot 65-75 carbon express arrows and have yet to break them i have used the same arrows for years now and i have hit rocks logs and all sorts but haven't broke one yet my groups with alluminums and 4 shots is 4-5 inches with carbons my groups are very tight the only thing i have broke on my carbons are the noks so i would suggest carbon arrows to everybody they are a great buy though they are a bit more expensive than alluminums depending on the type of carbon arrows you buy i have been shooting for over 20 years and i switched to carbons about ten years ago and never had a problem with them!!!
