    beman ics hunters. Shoot heavier than lighter. I'd rather throw a 10 pound rock at something slower than a feather at 1000 mph

    Carbon express maxima hunters.

    I shoot Carbon Express and before that Easton FMJs. I used to shoot other brands that are mentioned above until my out of state bow technician asked me to spin a dozen of my arrows on a arrow spinner. 4 out of 12 were straight.

    If your bow shop doesn't have one of these, they should:

    I always shot a cheaper arrow than most, but I was going through a 6-12 per month.

    I shoot the cheap ones from Tooths favourite place Wally World. I have tried the expensive ones and custom cut arrows and have better luck with cheap wally world arrows. Granted one out of every four gets thrown away but usually three out of the four group great. And at 3-4 bucks apiece you cant argue with that.

    I like ICS Hunters because they are slick and quiet.
    Gold tips because they are tough and inexpensive.
    I shot aluminum for years. They weren't durable but you could tune the hell out of them, especially out of a traditional or finger bow.

    Those carbon express are good arrows, you will do fine with them. I shoot GT Pro hunters. I usually catch what I need as I see them at a good price in the classified ads on Archerytalk. If you are patient you can pick up arrows at decent prices that way. GT pros are .001 straightness. Hart gave good advice about using an arrow spinner to check your arrows. Even the high end arrows will have a flier in the bunch occasionally and it will group differently. If nothing else then it will pay for itself in ease of tuning your BHs.

    I hear it said all the time that the cheaper less straight .003 or .006 arrows "shoot better than I can". That may be true but the way I see it the closer you start out from the center the closer you will end up. Would be like folks buying a high end rifle and going to walmart for the cheapest ammo they can find to hunt from it IMO. Me? I'd suggest you buy the straightest arrows you can reasonably afford unless you are a hog hunter and planning on busting plenty of arrows.

    Easton Axis 340s

    Started out with Gold Tips, but wanted more weight and smaller diameter. Never looked back. Pass through on a pig last August. Hoping to repeat Saturday.

Used them for years, and seen many of event where they should have broke, but didn't.
    This. Just got back to the office from picking up a brand new dozen of the XT Hunter.

    Some really good advice here. I shoot pile drivers by CE. There really aren't many options from the "cheaper" arrows for the weight arrow I like to shoot. Also my experience with less expensive arrows is durability.

    Easton Axis 340s w/HIT.

    I like them being very thin. I have had them custom fletched and tuned to my bow. My arrows are right at 420 grains and I have been extremely happy with them.

    Pass throughs on every animal I have shot with them. 400# black bear included.
