Default Arrows, looking for something new.

For the last few seasons I've been shooting the Easton bloodlines. I'm just looking for suggestions on something new. I'm thinking about switching, but may end up just buying more bloodlines. What's everybody using? Pros/cons? Thanks!

Gold Tip XT Hunters.

PROS: Tough as nails and won't break the bank. Can add tip weight with screw in weights at the back of the insert.

CONS: Diameter seems huge after shooting Axis for a couple years

Bemans, Gold Tip,.

Both are frugal for Harvesting, target and 3D shoots.

I can remember the name of my weight forward arrows, but I use them strictly for harvest season.

Good luck on your quest too find something that will work for you.

I just finished setting up a dozen goldtip pierce 340's for my target bow and another dozen for my hunting bow. I'm running 140grains up front and so far am extremely pleased with them.

I have been shooting Easton Da'Torch arrows and have been very happy with them. They have taken a pounding in the gopher field for a couple of seasons. I bought some Easton Axis arrows to try out. They are a heavier arrow so they are shooting slower but should be more stable and have more energy behind them. I'll get sighted in and see what they're like.

I'm a Victory VAP guy too. Can't beat the penetration. Had more pass throughs with these arrows than any others I've shot.

I use carbon express pass through extreme, but they are real hard to find now. If I was looking for something new I'd be going with the VAPs

In giving black eagle Spartans a try this year. But hard to go wrong with VAPs.
