What is your favorite arrow and why? Please post pics if you can. Right now all I have used is a cedar,easton aluminum and a beman ics. Out of them the beman would be mine easy to tune and shoots great.

Easton Axis or Beman mfx 400. Incredibly tough. Also Surewood Douglas fir for my longbow. All never let me down.

Lots of good arrows out there, trick is to find one that will spine  correctly and then have the right gpp  and an acceptable  FOC  to suit your desires. For me thats a full length GT  Traditional 75/95 with 225gr up front. Gives me right at 10 gpp and 16% FOC. I really like the CX Heritage too, but it weighs more than I like which lowers my FOC, because  I like to stay at 225gr up front. 100gr brass insert and 125gr head. The reason for that is there is a plethora of good 125gr broadheads on the market including the Magnus bullhead and some small game blunts. That way I can cover all my bases with one arrow.

My favorite arrow for bowhunting is a black colored Easton X7 Eclipse 32" BOP (back of point) aluminum target arrow in size 2212 fitted with an aluminum super uni-bushing with Super Nock. The aluminum is made from 7178-T9 alloy. The arrow is also fletched with 3, 5" right wing solid white colored parabolic feathers with maximum right wing helical twist.

Arrow Dynamics Trads and TradLites (carbons) 'cause they just seem easier to tune for me and I can shoot them out of a greater range of bows    :)
