Default Any suggestions on carbon arrows

I am looking at buying some new carbon arrows in the next few days. I am currently shooting the pse radial carbon weave that I bought 2 or 3 years ago but I've only got two left that are in good shooting condition. I want to get a good arrow without spending $100/dozen.

Any suggestions???

Gold Tip makes a pretty good arrow for the money. I shoot Easton Axis 340's they are awsome but a little on the high side.

Not about them just about your shooting ability oke. Like I said Gold Tip does make a good arrow I used to shoot them but just switched to the Easton's.

I have the Carbon Force arrows by PSE and they are awesome. They were around $89.

Here is a link, call them and pick their brains. They sell 100's of dozens a year so they are trustworthy in my book and they didn't try to sell me something I didn't like or want.

You need to consider your application before selecting.

If you are not going to be shooting an animal past 30-35 yards, then arrows that have a straightness of .005 or .006 will work. However, if you are going to be attempting to take an animal beyond that distance then I would go with an arrow straightness of .003 or less.

When shooting the longer distances you will definitely see tighter groups with arrow straightness of .003 or less.

And check the back of the arrow box and make sure that you are splined right for your draw weight, as it relates to arrow length.

I believe that Easton makes the finest arrows on the market today, although Gold Tip and Carbon Express will "Git er done".
