    Ok I'm in the market for new arrows. I'm currently shooting Carbon Express Maxima Hunter but frankly, I'm tired of paying that much for arrows.

    So I've gotten down to 3 choices. Carbon Express Crush, Easton Bloodline and Beman Bone Collector MFX. Which would you choose and why?

    That's a valid argument.

    This. I believe the Fatboy's are the only shaft not made in the US?

    Carbon express is extremely over-rated for the money. I would go for the MFX.

    I'm in the same predicament and I will be switching to Gold Tip Hunter XT 7595s they are the same GPI as my maxima hunters and I've shot my buddies and they shoot well out of my bow so. Plus they are about half the price for a dozen

    Shooting Gold Tip Hunter XT 7595 and liking them so far. This is what my local shop carries and at $45 a half dozen knocked, fletched, cut and inserts put in I can't complain.

    Either... just make sure they are properly spined and weighted correctly. Really, arrows last a long time if you don't shoot them into each other (I have never understood that) , so a few extra bucks one way or the other doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

    Arrows I've owned in the last 2 years:

    Easton Flatline
    Carbon Express Blue Streak
    Gold Tip Velocity Pro
    Easton Bloodline
    Easton FMJ
    Carbon Express Blue Streak

    Blue streaks are on there twice for a reason...

    If you just flat were against anything Carbon Express and Maxima, I would look into the easton axis first, then one of the HTs from bloodline (don't have my sheet in front of me to see which one), then maybe the bloodline (great arrow of the money)
