    Guys I'm looking to get new arrows I shot Gold Tip Hunter xt's this past year. But want to switch it up this season. Was looking at Easton Bowfire
    Open to suggestions?

    Fastest arrows I ever shot where the XT's. Best arrows I ever shot are the FMJ's.

    If you are looking for a smaller diameter shaft like axis or FMJ, take a look at the Gold Tip Kinetics

    I bought 7 dozen GT blanks three years ago. I will probably be shooting GTs for another 10 years at this rate. I see no reason to switch. Fly true, solid, and excellent value.

    Say I shoot 28" draw at 58#... With a 2006 Bear Instinct. Have not shot it through a chrono but I'm sure it can't be that fast of a bow. 250fps maybe? What kind of arrows would work well?
