    Ive posted abt arrow choices before but still havent made up my mind. Just looking for the arrow that suits me best. Shooting 60 lb setup with 100 grain magnus stingers. Has any of you shot these two arrows who think they would be a good pick for me or maybe even the carbon express whitetail arrows. Never used carbon express but wanna give them a shot because ive heard alot of good feedback. Looking for good penetration arrows. Any thoughts would help!

    I shoot the mayhem hunter 350 and I love them. Fly great and they hit hard. Now for the piledrivers I haven't shot them myself, but my buddy shoots them and he loves them. They are a little heavier so they will take some speed away but they seem like great arrows too. Can't go wrong either way

    Both good arrows but if you wanted more "punch" persay i'd go with the Piledrivers. yea you will lose a little speed but who cares. With the added weight you will have more momentum to force that arrow through especially if it comes in contact with a bone etc.

    The Easton Axis and Pile drivers are similar and I know guys that shoot them both ( I shoot Axis myself) and they all say the Piledrivers hit like a ton of bricks.

    What should i go after shooting 60 lbs with a 27 inch draw. Should i go with power in the piledrivers or speed and penetration with the mayhem hunters?

    If you're looking for penetration you want the heavier arrow so go with the Piledriver Hunter.

    Gold tips, easy to add weight if needed. Super tough arrow.
