Looking to get new arrows.. any suggestions, is there a best? also, I was shooting 400's, but I think I need 340's? any thoughts, I have a Hoyt 32, 29" draw , 65lbs
I have been Happy with the Black Eagle Rampages if you are over 65# you could go 300 slightly under use a 350. I shoot 27" but I still can get a decent weight outta these.
I normally shoot Easton ACC's. The ACC's are my go to arrow for hunting. However, I picked up a dozen Gold Tip Hunters to shoot 3-d targets and I'm also happy with the way they shoot.
Found Spartans this year. They are an awesome arrow. Ignitor makes the r nock which weighs they same as the stock nock.
Shot CE Maxima Reds for years. Made the switch to FMJ 340 for extra weight. Happy with the results and glad I made the switch.
Did you ever try the red sds? Little bit more gpi. 50g halfout that stayed straight and in hard on arrows. My finished arrow came to about 504grains or something. Ended up switching to a lighter arrow for 100yard practice.
I switched to Bloodsport Evidence last year, they are micro diameter arrow. I passed through 2 does, a buck and 2 hogs (the arrow come out the opposite side but did not pass completely through but a big hole). They are awesome arrows. I shoot a Elite E32, 70 lbs, 27.5 draw length.
I am a huge fan of FMJ's. I use the 5mm in 400 spine drawing 60# at 25.5 inches. They hit like a truck and zip through everything I have shot with them. I have read here and there that they are prone to bending but in the few years I have used them I haven't experienced this.
have had good luck with both carbon Express maxima blu rz and easton axis blus are my light arrow axis just over 500gr happy with both
I would definitely go with a stiffer spined arrow. Obviously the 400s worked for you, but from my knowledge that is the limit for that speed of bow.
Buy the best arrow you can afford. Why spend $1000 on a bow to cheap out on arrows. It don't make sense to me. Buy the best. It's a matter of inches in bow hunting.
I've had great luck with Beman Bowhunter shafts. In my opinion, There is no need to spend a lot of dollars on the shaft. Very very few people can shoot well enough to tell any difference between a .006 and a .002 straightness. Especially when shooting in a hunting situation where the target can move, the bullseye is 6-8 inches big, bone might be encountered and the archer might not be using perfect form. The straightness of your arrow isn't going to help much with any of that. What WILL help in all of those situations is having a heavy arrow with a good amount of weight on the front end. I build my arrows using a 100 grain brass insert and use a 125 grain tip. They weigh in at 500 grains or a little more depending on fletching and have a FOC of 19%. Bottom line, save some money on the shaft and spend in on heavy inserts.
Easton FMJ are great arrows. I use them. But the truth is they do bend, and hold their bend. You need to check them for straightness. On the plus side you can find them with a metal Detector Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I shoot Easton Hexx I look for the lightest GPI so that when I build the arrow I get the max FOC. My setup for 28 in arrow is a 50 gr insert and a 100 grain head for a 420 gr arrow with a 13 FOC this setup is great out of my Mathews ChillR at 70lbs
At 65#’s You can shoot 340’s as long as you’re shooting skeet loads and mechs. If you add any FOC, you’ll need 300’s. Go carbon.
