    Whatever flys best out of your bow. I personally like carbon express mayhem arrows.

    I love the Full Metal Jackets by Easton. Hard hitting and very durable!

    Who makes the best pickup? Chevy, Ford, Toyota, Dodge, etc...you get the idea

    Go to an archery shop and they will help get you set up with arrows

    I've noticed that the arrows I spent about 7 bucks each on fly just as good and accurate as the ones my buddy spent a lot more on. Ultimately try what your bow guy tells you to use and adjust if you don't like them.

    Listen to me and listen close .... the best arrow is the arrow that is spined correctly for your set up and shoots from a well tuned bow ...period!

    You can get a dozen arrows with .006 tolerance for $45 .. they shoot just as good as a .001 arrow out of the same bow....so much money wasted out there ...

    Listen to Tony^^ You said you are young and inexperienced, the most important thing is getting the RIGHT arrow, not the right brand. Most manufacturers will have tables on their websites to help match an arrow to the specs of your bow. Spine and weight are key factors here. What is your set up? Draw weight? draw length?

    If you click the Black Eagle arrows link in my signature, the click "Arrows and Bolts", you will find a sizing chart. These charts work the same for different manufacturers. Simply follow your draw weight and draw length to select the appropriate spine. Once you choose a brand BE SURE to reference their chart before purchasing.

    I agree. I firmly believe that you can't really buy a bad arrow anymore though. Personally, I'm an Easton guy. I will say this though, for hunting arrows, thinner is better. You will get a lot more penetration vs. a thicker one. I really love my Easton Axis's but you can't go wrong with any other company, like I said. Triple check your stats; spine, length, how poundage. You can buy the most expensive arrows out there, but if they are matched to your set up they won't fly well and they could be incredibly dangerous to shoot. Goodluck!
