Depends on your budget. Any idea on what you want to spend? CX Terminators are a great arrow at a great cost. Same with Vapors from Blackhawk. Next step up your looking at Victory's, Easton St Axis, GT XT's and CX Blacks. Step up from their and your looking at CX Maxima's and CT Whitetails. Go even further up the ladder and you can get some CX Aramids. All have their pro's and cons so it boils down to a personal preference and budget.

Budget? Do you want heavy, mid weight, or light arrows for speed? What kind of and what weight broadhead? Draw length, draw wieght and type of cam? These are all important variables and are need to know info when you hit the shops.

I like ACC's, Axis, CE Maxima Hunters, CE Terminator Hunters, Beman ICS Hunters. All are good, but different.

Good point on the draw length...I wasn't thinking.
I'll go tomorrow when I can bring my bow with me!

Good Idea. The shop may have some shafts that are close in size that you can shoot. Al lthe arrow charts are pretty close, but sometimes an arrow can surprise you.

You can usually get a pretty good discount on those.;)

I just got a dozen of easton axis for 100.00 with blazers all set up for my bow and i had to go buy a new target. i was shooting the acc's and i have a bag target at 15 yards i would walk up and pull my arrows out with two fingers about half way in the bag, i got these new arrows and went to start shooting them and my first arrow about blew right threw the bag the fletchings were holding them in towards the back of the bag. i can not believe the differance it made with the arrows how much more speed and impact i picked up.

Great choice in a hunting arrow in my opinion. Been using them for years. A bit on the heavy side but for me that's more of a plus than a negative. ;)
