    Well since farthers day is coming up and the wife is hinting at what arrows you like, I was curious to what easton arrows you guys shoot and why. I have beman ics patriot hunters which I love and was gonna grab another dozen in 340 spine for my new setup on my drive lt cause I plan going 70lbs amongs upgrades to strings and a drop away rest and possibly the new trophy ridge react pro 5 pin. With all that said whats your opinions on easton arrows. :woot:

    bigfootcali, the Beman ICS Hunter Patriots are great arrows. Since its your birthday and your wife is asking what arrows you like, I'm asking if you have ever shot a micro diameter arrow? Easton's are good but don't limit yourself. Sounds like you might have a chance to get "something real nice" if you know what I mean.

    I've been using Bloodlines since 2012. I sent the same one through 2 deer last season. But I also like Beman shafts and say if you like the Patriots stick with them.

    I used Easton axis shafts last year. I'll likely not be switching/trying any others for a while. The switch from standard diameter arrows was uneventful. No sight adjustment was necessary for 20 yards. Minor adjustments for 30 & 40 because of the extra weight. They hit true and hard and are certainly tougher than anything else I have used, although I have no experience with 'tough' arrows - wrapped or FMJ types.

    I love my Easton Bloodlines, I also shoot Carbon Express Maxima Blues, but my Bloodlines I prefer more. To me, just a faster, smoother arrow!!

    I shoot the Easton Bowfire out of my CS and Beman ICS Hunter Pro outta my Faktor.....both are great. I like the Bowfire cause they are heavier

    Axis. Love them. Tough and the smaller shaft diameter aids penetration.

    300 spine Gold Tip Velocity XT because they make the best all carbon arrow out there. I picked the XT because I can cut my arrows so short it makes them close to a pro grade for a lot less $$. I used to be a big Easton guy but then I tried GT and I plan on staying with them for a while.

    I hunt with Easton Axis .300 spine, shooting 70lbs at 30 in draw. They have performed flawlessly for me for several years., and I'll be shooting them for several more.

    I'm shooting Easton Bloodlines now, I moved from Gold Tip hunter pros. Those are also good arrows but I prefer the Easton arrows. They seem to stand up better in practice and peel less over time. I put 4 of them up for hunting but I've been pounding the others into targets for six months with no issues, that I didn't cause myself.

    I've been shooting axis 340s since 2007. I doubt I will ever change unless Easton quits making them. Been through 4 bows in that time....but shot the same arrows. Best HUNTING arrow made....period....including the fmj....

    I have also been shooting the bloodlines for a few years now with no issues at all. Killed a few deer with the same arrow a couple different times. Excellent price too.
