    Hey guys, I posted a thread a few weeks ago on the deep 6 arrows and broadheads. I am in the market for getting some new arrows this season and I am trying to decide whether the deep 6 is worth all the hype or if I should just get regular arrows. What is yalls opinion on some good arrows under $65 for 6 arrows? I was looking at the new beman ICS hunter pro carbons and carbon express pile drivers. Whats yalls opinion on some arrows? I am also looking into getting some new broadheads. I am looking into killzones, spitfire maxx, and thunderheads. Would yall shoot a 2 or 3 blade mechanical? Thanks in advance!

    I'm also in the market for some arrows and I'm not sure what I want yet so I can't help you there. However, I have killed a deer with a Rage 2-blade. I have nothing against them and was more than impressed with the hole it left. I also shoot Muzzy fixed blades, depending on my mood.

    I've always been a fan of carbon express arrows. However, I just switched to the Easton bloodlines and couldn't be happier. They run 60$ per 6 put are well worth it. The nicks fit really great as well, lately the cx arrows nocks have been way to tight.

    For broadheads ive always shot fixed blades. Not a fan of expandables. I was looking to buy new broadheads for this hunting season and was at ****s sporting goods getting my daughter shoes and walked into the archery section and they had NAP bloodrunners 4 pack for 19.99$ so I grabbed all that was left. Took em home and put them on my new arrows and was shooting groups less then a inch at 50 yds. Which resulted in me cutting one of the fletchings off my new arrows.

    That's what I'm going with this season.

    I got some beman ics hunter pro's, I dont know whether I should get deep 6 or not. I bought them at ****s and didnt have them cut them because I dont really trust the people at ****s. I am going to post a thread on the deep 6 and see if they are worth it.

    I just got my new arrows all fletched up tonight. I went with the Carbon Express Blue Streak Selects this season. A bit higher then your budget but the other Maxima Hunters would be a great choice. I also decided to go with the NAP Killzones this season instead of the Rage. So far they seem great.

    I believe you can get some muddy bloodsports ht-1 or ht-2 for under $60. Have shot lots of deer with the rage but switched to Killzones this year. I think they have a better design.
