Title: Which carbon arrows?
Post by: Tom Anderson on July 07, 2010, 02:03:00 PM
Which of the carbon arrows is popular now for trad. bows?
I used to shoot Beman ICS Hunter's for 3D comps., but they're a bit on the light side and do have some "twang" to 'em?

I shoot the Beman ICS Bowhunters with 3gpi weight tubes in them with 250 grain tips and they seem to be very durable.  Finished weight is about 625 grains.

I am shooting Easton Epic Shafts.  They are working well for me.

Beman MFX Classic all the way. I will only use these, even if all others were free!

Arrow Dynamics Trad Lites for my longbows up to 50 lbs. The greatest shaft ever made for longbows. Ken

Carbon Express Heritage, was shooting the 250 but now the 350.

Durable shaft that has good quality control and usually you get what is advertised...

I too like the Beeman MFX -- 600's at my 26" draw (27.5 inch arrow) in my 40-48 pound recurves.  The shafts are extremely tough but the finish will rub off when arrows slide against each other when shot too tightly in the target.

Really like the skinny carbons.  Beman MFX Classics and the Easton Full Metal Jackets.  They both have plenty weight per inch to avoid having to use weight tubes.  Very durable.

Beman MFX Classics, .500's for me at 51 lbs. and 27 inch draw.  Really nice arrows.

Carbon Express Heritage 250's. I'm shooting them full length with a 31 1/2 inch draw at around 55 pounds. 5" 3 fletch with 145 grain fieldpoints/145 Grain Bear Razorheads.

Hey Zbearclaw, I'm curious to know what poundage you are shooting with the 350's?

I love my Gold Tip Traditional Hunters, they are a little heavier than their comparable spined arrows & tough as steel.
Trust me I've hit a many things with mine that should have made them into tomatoe stakes.

I shoot the 35/55's full length w/ a standard insert, a 1" piece of 2117 aluminum arrow over the insert end & a 125gr. point, they fly great out of my 52* @ 28" Zona recurve for me.
