    I will not need these arrows this season. I am getting a new bow this winter and will need some new arrows, I am wanting a heavy small diameter pass through arrow. I will be shooting 60-65 lbs dl- 29"-30" and I was wandering what arrows you would suggest for this setup. I will be shooting 100 gr rages.

    I love my piledrivers. I'd be shooting the new Pass Thru Extremes if the lighted Launchpads came in the smaller diameter as well. With a heavier arrow, you might want to look at a 125gr tip to help with FOC. You can get Killzones in 125 :tu:

    I would look at Black Eagle Arrow Rampages. They are the smaller diameter arrow, and you can get a heavier outsert instead of the standard insert. I went this route this summer, and they have been shooting awesome. I shoot 70lbs at 30", and I have had real good luck so far on deer shooting the 2" Killzones

    I would just wait and see what all the companies bring out new for next season since you dont want them right now anyways.

    That's actually a good idea

    I was thinking the same thing. I'll probably go with the pile drivers. Good luck!

    I'm shooting the da torchs this year as well. Very tough and durable arrows. Worth the extra dollars.

    I am changing my entire arrow choice this next season. If I can afford it I'll be doing Alaskan Bowhunting tapered high FOC arrows and tipping them with a single beveled broadhead by them as well. Overkill for deer? Possibly...but boy is it a deadly set up. If I don't go that route I will be using Black Eagle for sure...and it's not because I'm unhappy with my GTs I just think both of these are notches above with the ABs being the higher of the two.

    I'm shooting the piledriver Ptx arrows this year. They're heavy and get the job done. I love the half-in half-out insert. Adds 44 grains to the front so it increases FOC and total point weight without using weights or 125 grain heads.

    Mine are at 29 inches and weigh in at just under 500 grains with NAP quickfletch, slick trick 100 and nockturnal (X size).

    Easton Axis is what I shoot. Not a complaint yet. Purdy heavy.

    Bloodsport H-1 Picked these arrows up in June and have been nothing but happy with them. They are really small and heavy, super accurate also. Shot a doe at 33 yards and they still barried in the ground well over 6inches. 68lbs 27 draw
