I used them last year indoor with really good success. I would recommend them. If you are running out an buying arrows specifically for 3d, I would personally shoot a 25 or 27 series. If you have some or can get a good deal on some fat boys give them a go.

Hey Norm are you running 25 or 27 for outdoor 3D as well? Or do you go to something like a pierce when outdoor?

It depends on where I'm going to be at outdoors. If the venue is a well treed and there are not a lot of long wide open shots I will choose a fatter arrow if I can, to grab more lines. For a venue on the prairies or where there may be lots of wind I will choose Vaps. It's always a crap shoot though. Last year for outdoor provincials I chose Vaps, and the weather was fantastic and there were not a bunch of long open shots. Lefty and I kept track, and by the end of the tournament I left 17 points on the table that I would have got with an average diameter arrow, let alone a fat shaft. So you see, there are trade-offs that you have to consider.

Great info. Thank you. I am waffling between getting larger diameter arrows or just sticking with my standard for now.

17 points compared to a standard, wow but like you said there are lots of factors to consider.

For the indoor season there is absolutely nothing to be gained by a shooting a skinny shaft. There is no wind to consider. I like to shoot a fat arrow as fast as I can. That way it buys a little yardage estimation error forgiveness.

Just my opinion though!
