Im in the market for some new arrows and im on a budget. Anything around $60 is good. Any good ones out there????
Beman ICS Bowhunters. Good price and solid arrow. Used them all season and I like them as well as any of the more expensive ones.
Cabelas Stalker Extremes are a pretty good budget arrow... Was told in the past they were made by Easton... On sale now for $39 for 6... http://www.cabelas.com/product/Hunt...791680;cat104693580;cat104192280;cat103856580
I am a fan of the Beman ICS series. Just picked up the ICS Speeds for $54.99 for half dozen at BPS. I believe the ICS hunters were the same price.
X 2. I think they're made by Beman, BUT I believe Beman is owned by Easton so I'm not exactly sure. They are the same specs as the ICS Hunters but less price.
You can get a doz. of GT's out of the Sportsman Guide for $49 plus shipping. ****s Sporting Goods you can Get Easton Raiders for around that price
Gold tip makes a really tough arrow. I shot both the xt and the expedition for a year or so each, put them through alot of abuse, and they always held up.
I still have a few of the GT's From Sportsman's Guide I bought last January. They aren't bad but, I didn't like them that well until I put NAP Quickfletch Quickspins. Then they were great!!! only problem I had was the shafts getting chipped easy and if you missed the target (I did a few times when I was learning to shoot) they shatter easily. I lost one and broke the other 8. still have 3. Oh and the nocks come out easily. Sometimes when they hit the bag target they would pop out. The cheap nocks from Walmart (if you can find any now) stayed in great though. $3.00 for 6 nocks and inserts. I did like buying 12 for so cheap but, by the time I put the NAP QF's and nocks that fit right, I would have rather bought a six pack of good ones. The Bemans fly as well stock as the GT's fly with the NAP Quickfletch Quickspins. Sportsmans Guide GT's: $50 arrows + $12 shipping + $40 NAP QF's + $10 nocks (bought a couple different types before finding ones that worked) = $112.00/12 arrows= $9.33 each. BPS Beman ICS: $54.00/6=$9.00 each and they fly just as good as the GT's with NAP QF's. $54.00 Arrows+$20.00 NAP QF's= $12.33each and so well worth it. You can shoot them stock and then replace the fletchings. Do what you want but, if I could go back and buy again a year ago, I would have bought the Bemans to begin with.
I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know the Cabela's Stalker Extremes are Beman ICS Hunters with a Cabela's sticker on them and $40 cheaper per dozen. The catch is that they only sell them in 400s and 340s.
