I just bought 3 from Wally World for 7 bucks a piece to practise with. They are 31" 6075. The arrows that I currently are shooting are 28" Easton St. Epic 340's. I'm down to one Easton Practice arrow and thought "what the hell" when I saw these.... Any thoughts or predictions to help me learn... THanks, SB
I killed my first deer with a Wal-mart terminator... It was just as dead as the ones Ive shot with my Gold Tips.
Nothing wrong with practicing with cheaper arrows. Just beware they probly won't shoot to the same spot as your Eastons. If you can out fit them the same and they weigh the same grs. per inch you can get them shooting pretty much the same. Of course you would still need to cut them down to 28". If they don't shoot the same I would not practice with arrows that didn't shoot to the same spot as my hunting arrows because while I'm practicing I want to make sure my bow is sighted in and everything's working as it should. I have some arrows that I've matched up and use them but they shoot exactly like my hunting arrows. I'm sure others will chime in with some more help. Remember, you have fletching, nock, insert and point to match up also. That being said I have some Carbon Express arrows that shoot very good. lp
Your Easton shaft at 28" will weigh about 270ish grains. And the Carbon Express shafts at 30" will be about 295ish grains. Cut the CE down to 28" and it should put you somewhere around 275. That is pretty close to weighing the same. Try them out and see if they shoot that same. If they do, go for it
