    Guys having a hard time deciding on Arrows for this upcoming fall. I currently shoot Gold Tip XT Hunters. Great arrow was just looking for something different this year. I am currently looking at the following arrows. If anyone has a suggestion for something that's not listed please let me know.

    Gold Tip Velocity XT
    Easton Da Torch
    Bloodsport Hunter

    As I said I am open to suggestions if you have another arrow that you think is better.

    Thanks for the insight

    I really like Velocity's....here is why. I can shoot a lighter arrow and add more weight up front. They get me to the total weight I want but with a higher FOC. having used both Velocity's and Pro hunters other then the weight I notice no difference in tuffness or durability.

    What are you shooting and what is the weight of your arrow. This is where I am having the biggest problem deciding. My KE is 62.85 currently with my XT Hunters. I cango down to the 340 Velocity XT and shoot the same weight arrow and get the same velocity and FOC of 11.39% is this what I wanna do.

    That is easy to do, just shoot velocity's with added wight up front to get to the total weight you want. Use the fact weight system rather then brass inserts so you able to adjust it as needed.

    Ive been looking into the Bloodsport arrows. They look like great arrows. I personally have not shot them, but reading up on them and they are convincing me more and more
