Default What carbon arrows are you using?

I am going to be looking for some new arrows after this season and was wondering what people are using? so many different manufactures out there lets here what you like about or dislike about them.

I shoot easton arrows. I have some ST epics and some ST excels which I really like. I just ordered some more and was told that the epics are discontinued so I got a dozen of the replacement model (easton bloodline). They have not arrived yet but I expect good things.
I'm not a fan of carbon express, they seem to split a lot.

Good luck in your search.

Easton FMJ 400s...Might go with newer model next year, but work great. I have blazers on some other arrows, no problem sticking i put a wrap on first and then use gorilla glue to hold them on.

I'm using Carbon Express Predator 2's right now but will be stepping up into a better arrow soon. So far I have no complaints with them though.

Carbon Express Maxima Blue Streak Select

They are a great arrow, stable and strong.

However, my buddy uses Easton N-fusion axis (the small diameter arrows) and he swears by them. I will be trying those after hunting season is done.

I use carbon Express Mayhem hunters, with Fusion Zeon vanes and Accunocks. I like the weight forward design, they fly nice, seem tough enough and look super cool! lol
One of these days I will run one through an animal.

I am not a huge fan of the nock collor on them but it has never caused me too much issue. I'd like to try Easton Axis but cant get over them being skinny and needing an adapter ring for broadheads.

For gophers in the summer I just run cheapo Easton Powerflights. Decent arrow too and the price is right, they only weigh .2 grains per inch difference from my hunting shafts so there is virtually no adjustments needed when swapping from one to the other.

Good luck lots of great shafts out there to choose from!!

Don't forget carbon X weave arrow. Decent price and very tough (gopher shooting is a good test for durability, pass with flying colour)
