Title: Can't decide what arrows to go with
Post by: bccalls2011 on July 11, 2013, 12:07:00 PM
Need some help guys, I can't decide to stick with my gt traditionals or try those ferguson heavy hunters. What care your guys take on a arrow that heavy.
Thanks Matt

The thing that keeps me from shooting them is the price

Is there any difference in the shaft, or does the Ferguson just use a heavier insert?  If the only difference is the insert weight, you could accomplish the same thing by using regular GT's with supplemental screw-in weights.

Different weight in shaft. The Feruson's weigh over 13 grs per inch.

I bet they are tougher, but that's a guess, I'm like Dave, they cost more than I want to spend and they weigh more than I want to shoot.

My take on the heavy GT arrows is, it will take a tremendous amount of weight up front to get the FOC up. That would be a good thing for hunting very large game but a big hog is most likely the largest target I'll ever have.

I love the regular GT arrows, they leave plenty of shooting and tuning options in my opinion. Honestly I have never felt the need to look for another arrow.

I also shoot GT trads and they are great especially for the price. Just throw on a heavy head if you want more weight.
