    Well i'm down to just a few good arrows now and I'm wanting to fill my quiver again before season. What does everybody like to shoot? I'm partial to CX but I'm open to anything! I strictly hunt whitetails with my bow.

    you're going to get half a dozen opinions, but you can't go wrong with the maxima reds. I found some on ebay fletched and cut to desired length for $140/12. (kicking myself b/c a week earlier the same guy had them on special for 120/12.)

    I shoot the GT Velocity Hunters but will be switching to the Easton Axis or FMJ. Nothing against GT but the Eastons are a little smaller diameter.

    I shoot the cx bluestreaks but I've heard alot of good things about the reds. When I get another bow in 2 or 3 years I'll probably get the CX Pile drivers if they're still around.

    Do you guys practice with them or do you strictly use them for hunting?

    Easton ACC 390's tough, forgiving and fast. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. They last a long time too. I have 6 for practice and 6 just for hunting. a/w some extras, just in case the trees move.

    I'll be honest Black Eagle will be my next arrows....unless I jump for what I really want, the Alaskan Bowhunting's tapered high FOC arrows.

    Bought some CE Mutiny's this past weekend at Academy. $45 for 6. Couldn't pass em up. I'm getting them cut this week and hopefully shooting them this weekend.

    whatever brand you get make sure they are the correct spine and length. i reccomend the have a .006 straightness. i use easton acc pros they have .002 and have better inserts than most making ur broadhead perfecly straight
