    I know someone who is a finger shooter for target. He is using them and doing great in competition.

    Here’s a question for the experts. I currently shoot a 9.3 gpi/340 arrow. To keep the weight close with these arrows I’d have to go to the 300/8.8gpi. I realize I'd probably have to re-sight but would changing spine/weight mess me up much other than that? I shot 62# at 28.5”.
    Thanks!

    i am no expert but i feel at 62 pounds you should stay at 340 or even 400. what are your arrow lengths and what arrows are you shooting?

    Check out my recent post...similar setup and question:
    "2011 Bow Madness- Am I using the right arrows? "

    I just ordered a dozen of the Hunter 350's...anxious to try them out!
    62# PSE BowMadness, 29" draw, 28.5" arrows

    I’m currently shooting the Cabela’s Stalker Extreme 65/80. I’ve been told it’s the same arrow as the Beman ICS Hunter 340. I’m pretty sure I had them cut to 28.5 inches.

    Don't seem terrible to me. Almost worth giving a shot.

    I follow them on facebook. They seem to be doing pretty well among hunters, and for that price its hard to no give them a try.

    Just got a dozen Hunters this morning. I switched to stronger spine, and they group great. Only thing I don't like is that the Fusion vanes are not of the same quality (rigidity) as the PSE BM arrows I bought with the same vanes. Maybe Norway changed?
    I shoot a WB, so we'll see how they hold up. Fusion vanes have proven to be indestructible with a WB (my experience).
    I would try them out...they're inexpensive, and shipped to my door in two (2) days. Also, I initially sent an email asking about spine/arrow types, and they were very quick to respond.

    In short: they're inexpensive enough to buy and try them out....and they seem like a great arrow so far!

    I personally am an FMJ guy. They're super thin which will surprise you but they are the most durable arrow I have ever shot.

    Well after watching that I think I'll more than likely be giving these arrows "a day in court". They seem pretty dang good for the price. I'm not in need of new arrows yet but I think these will be the next dozen I try out. If you can get good quality for that price, how could you go wrong?

    Like I said, I bought some 340's and have been shooting them for a few days now...no complaints whatsoever

    I'm considering these as well. Question I have is I currently shoot Maxima hunter 350s at 8.9 GPI cut at 27.25 " with NAP quickfletch vanes. I shoot a 09 Bowtech captain 60-70 cranked down she peaks at like 73lbs at 28" dl so could I get away with the 300 spine 8.8 GPI deer crossing? I shoot 100gr broadheads btw. I like the heavier GPI arrows so I don't have to have a 30" arrow to keep my overall weight where I like it. Any opinions would be appreciated.

    I wish I had seen this before I bought my arrows at the first of the year.

    Now to find an excuse the CFO, aka wife, will believe so I can order a dozen to try. :)
