    I'm gonna assume a few people on here shoot them. If you do, what kind and how do you feel about them? I was thinking about picking up a dozen Piledrivers.

    I currently shoot Easton Axis 340's, and they're getting worn out. I'd stick with Eastons but I have 170 bucks in Gander money and they are the next thing that needs replacing. Thoughts?

    Not sure about the Piledrivers but the Maxima series arrows are great arrows.

    I've had good luck with my Maxima Hunter 250s. Definitely easier to pull out of the block than my old eastons. If I had to switch, I'd look first at the Piledrivers.

    I've shot the Maximas the last 2 season and love them. I plan to switch this season to the Maxima Hunter KV to up the weight of my arrow.

    I shoot Maxima 350's and have had zero issues when shooting through an animal. On my buck this year the arrow passed through the opposite shoulder and came out unscathed. They are very tough arrows that group well and another added benefit with the buff tuff arrows is that they pull out of your targets extremely easy. Hope this helps. I will be shooting them again this year for sure.

    I shoot the rebel hunters. They work well for me. Seemed cheap enough.

    My father is shooting piledrivers and they're a good arrow. I shot CE Maxima Hunter's this past season and I was very pleased.

    I've used the C/E Maxima series. Had the 250s and the 350FOC. The 350FOC were some of the best arrows I've ever shot.

    I currently shoot the AXIS N-Fused and I'm very pleased with them. Just like the C/E, they're very consistent, when weighing each shaft.

    In my opinion, you cannot go wrong with Carbon Express.

    Carbon Express make fine arrows. I use Maxima Hunters in both 350 and 250 for different setups. Although I use Easton Lightspeeds for 3-D
