Arrow ?

It all depends on what your target is�3D you want a light arrow to flatten the trajectory, hunting wise I highly recommend that you do NOT get the lightest arrow you can get because of k/e issues.

I am an Easton fan myself. I have used the Easton Epic 340 for both hunting and 3D for years with great success in both because I practice what I hunt with�that's just my personal preference. I like them because it is a high quality, inexpensive arrow. However, Easton no longer makes the Epics (one of, if not the leading selling arrow out on the market) and have replaced them with the Bloodline arrow, which from what I've seen is just as good as the Epic.

It would help if you could provide a little more info as to what you want out of the arrow, and specs such as, arrow length from nock grove to tip, tip weight, etc.... Hope this helps.
 
I can't help you out too much in the straight and light department, but if you want crooked and heavy, I made up a half dozen this morning before heading to the stream. I could PM you my set-up if you're interested.

I don't seem to have a problem killing deer with 508 grain arrows that have a straightness of 0.006.

FYI, my wife is out of town, she'd kill me if she knew I was glueing these things up on the kitchen table.

LOL...That's where I do my arrow work in the summer as well, and she has no idea! :D

I like the way the doiley (I'm actually proud that I don't know how to spell that) keeps the glue bottle from slipping and the glass centerpiece is ridged and it keeps my arrows separated so the feathers don't stick together when I put a drop of glue at each end. I don't think an archery supply store could invent something so useful.

That's hilarious!
I use my wife's centerpiece floral arrangement to hold and separate the arrows after I finish cresting and fletching mine...lol

I have also shot STEpics for years with good results . I'm shooting the 400 , cut down to 27.5" . I bought a half dozen Bloodlines to try and they are a good shooting arrow , and slightly lighter than the STEpics.
 
the light arrows that come to my mind would be Gold tip velocity pros, Carbon express blue streak and Easton makes a light arrow I thing they are called flatlines somebody correct me if am wrong.I have shot heavy and light arrows. A lighter arrow will make your bow louder and they dont fly great in the wind. If you can buy single arrows anywhere I would by one of a few diff. kinds that way you can shoot them and so which ones you like the best. Tape you a piece of paper on your target and shoot the same arrow a few timesw at it and she which one groups the best for you.
 
I have shot carbon Express mayhems for the past two years, pretty good arrows really. I just bought some gold tip pro hunters yesterday and paper tuned them but havent really got a chance to do a lot of shooting I'll try and keep y'all posted.
