    I've been looking to experiment with some new arrows. Just wondering what sticks everyone else is flinging.

    I shot the Beman ICS Hunter 350's for years and they were great. Switched to CX Maxima Hunter 350's, another great arrow and now I shoot the CX Maxima Red 350's, another great arrow. However, I've heard many people complaining that they're breaking easily. Also, they're about 15 grains lighter than the Maxima Hunters that were the same length and setup. But so far, they shoot nice groups for me. I don't know if the new carbon wrapping technology helped at all, but I got a pass through at 37 yards the last week of bow season. I don't have access to a chrono so I cant tell you the speed differences in the three.

    I've been shooting the Maxima Reds as well. They group well and have been pretty durable for me so far

    I hunt with Gold tip Pro hunters, and practice with Gold tip Devastators or XT hunters. They all are refletched right helical with blazers and all hit to the same place.

    Carbon Express Reds have been shooting great through my bow. I have shot the Carbon Express BlueStreaks as well. Great performing arrows.

    I switched to the Easton Axis for this year. Haven't been able to shoot much yet but from what I have seen they shoot very well.
