    Just looking for some small diameter arrows and I'm not sure what brand to go with. Just looking for some guidance as to what kind to shoot this coming fall. If it helps I shoot the Mathews no cam with a draw length of 28in and draw weight of 65lbs.

    Victory V.A.P. are good arrows , I am shooting the V.A.P. V1 series , Easton Injexion arrows are good only bad thing is they are deep six threaded and require special broadheads and field points

    Easton axis and FMJ are really popular

    I currently shoot the Axis arrows. They hit hard and have yet to have a problem with them as they are pretty durable. Their are a lot of good arrows out their now so its hard to really tell you which one to get. With your draw length and draw weight i'm thinking you wont want anything lighter than about 420 grains. A little heavier arrow will give you better KE and more momentum so I would get something more in the 450 grains range

    Some arrows to check out would be the Easton Axis, and the FMJ like davidingle mentioned. A lot of guys are definitely using the FMJ this year from what I have seen. I also believe the Victory Vaps are a smaller diameter arrow as well. Victory has really tight tolerances as well so that's a bonus as well.

    Just don't go too light of an arrow. I did that once and you really notice it when shooting in a slight breeze. Having the correct spine arrow for your setup and a good weight, the arrows fly much better and are more stable, especially at the longer ranges.

    Let us know what you decide to get :)

    The two smaller .204 ID arrows that stand out to me right now are GT Kinetics and BEA Ramages.

    I install Brass HITs in both and then use a footing sleeve.

    The BEA been getting the nod lately as they are lighter and easier to build very high FOC without an ending up with an excessively heavy finished weight
