Hello,
I have recently acquired a Bama hunter 27@55#
Nate suggested 3555 Gold tip traditional.
Has anyone had success running with carbons or could I go with pine/cedar arrows and just build them instead? :confused:
Sorry if it's a stupid question but the Carbons are so much more expensive $$$..
It's a personal preference thing. I shoot carbons out of my Bama and they work very well. They are pricey but they are pretty durable as well. Nate is right a GT 3555 should be tunable out of your bow if you are drawing the 27". You can also find a wood or aluminum that would tune so it is all a matter of what you want to shoot. Good luck...Shawn
Welcome to Tradgang!
If you're just startin' out, I think you'll find the carbons easier to work with (tuning wise) to get your arrows to "hit where you're lookin'".

Good cedar shafts are pretty pricey these days, too.
I have always been a wood lover, but, I have switched to carbon because I love how easy and simple they are to build, tune, and shoot.
Carbons are very durable and pretty easy to tune.
I only shoot wood-if price is an issue go with something else.
Thanks you all for the help, I think I will get the 3555 carbons and work with those.
Thanks again!
You might do well to order some different weight screw-in field points when you get your arrows and perhaps some 50 or 100grain brass screw-inserts, too, then you'll have plenty of options for varying tip weight to get them to fly well for you. Post back if you need add'l help or details.
