    You can go cheap on many things...

    Arrows shouldn't be one of them. :o(

    Seriously? You looking to get hurt?
    Get good arrows... Easton Axis 340s will fit your bow.

    Just go to a pro shop and get a dozen of Beman ics bowhunters....i used them when i first was trying out the archery thing...they are 5 or 6 bucks an arrow where i am ready to go and at least it's an industry name....i understand having a budget but I would def want a brand name on my arrow...safety is a concern for me with no names

    These right here are some great arrows. Bought a dozen of the Hunters to try out. VERY well made and fly perfect.

    those scare the hell out of me, dude.
    Last year I got a dozen Victory V3s for $70, cut, inserts, fletched and knocked. They shot very well, but I always intended them to be my summer target and get my form right arrows.

    So about a month before season, I went ahead and bought a dozen Carbon Express Maxima reds...I have to admit my Victorys fly more consistently*, are tougher, and I also have to say that I don't mind busting/losing the $6.00 Victorys nearly as much as the $10.00 Maximas. In fact, I robin hooded my second shot ever at 50 yards with the Victorys, outdoors, with a pretty stiff breeze. They are amazingly consistent arrrows.

    *edit. I should have clarified that the Victorys fly better with field tips. The Maximas are a bit better with broadheads, and since that's what it's really all about they will remain my hunting shafts.

    Gold Tip Expedition Hunters are another option. Around $6 an arrow and, other than the few that have been hit by another arrow, robin hooded, or broken off in a deer, I cannot say I have had one break. Can't say the same about the Eastons I used to shoot several years ago.

    I used to think that an arrow is a arrow that there can't be that much differences to them.
    So I bought up a bunch of cheap arrows from Wal-Mart I think they were about $5.99 to $6.99 it was the cheapest ones I could find.
    Then I was in a local bow shop because they were having a sale. I found some of these Carbon Express Rebel Hunter 6075 with built-in weight forward. I didn't know what weight forward was but they were the right length for me.
    The shop owner had just brought them out & put them on the 50% off table, they were still covered with dust. They had a $90 price tag on them so 50% off would be $45 that was a little above my price range for the cheap arrows, but what the hell I had the cash in my pocket, so I bought them. I put them up for a while then before last deer season I got them out & started practice with them & suddenly my shots started hitting the mark every time. Even with my bad eyes I could hold a tight group out to 50 yds. On my first hunt with them I shot two deer, that was a lot better than the cheap arrows where I missed most of the time.

    Cheap arrows are good for keeping your shooting arm in shape during practice but for hunting & target shooting when you are really trying to hit the target, buy the quality arrows. Remember, You get what you pay for!
