Once you want to upgrade, I would recomend the gold tip xt hunters. I got mine from sportsmans for about $100 a dozen. So they aren't cheap, but they definately aren't as expensive as some of the others out there, and from what I can tell so far they work great and they are high quality.

I just ordered my first bow and figured I would pick up some arrows to start practicing with as soon as it shows up. I asked the guy at Cabela's about the Cabela's Carbon Hunters that were on sale. He said they were good arrows and at $50 for a dozen I didn't figure it would be bad to start cheap while I get used to the bow. Then he said they were made by Easton and as good as many of the arrows double the price. I did notice the inserts that came in the box were in an Easton bag so there must be some truth to it. Anyone have any info on this? is there an Easton that is the same product or are these a cheap alternative that Easton makes but wouldn't put their name on?

Those are made by Easton.

They make them for Cab.

Easton Full Metal Jacket 400's. I think they rock as a hunting arrow, and they're very accurate. Did I mention they were tough, too?

Easton axis 400 with blazer wraps and blazer vanes fletched with the helix fletching jig. Top it off with the hell razor 100. Shoots exactly the same as a field point. Best combo I've shot. I don't shoot the wraps just because they look good, you can peal them off to refletch your arrow. That way your not scraping carbon off the arrow when your getting the glue off the shaft.

Easton FMJ 400's with AAE Maxhunter vanes and 2-blade 100 grain Magnus Buzzcut.

I'm thinking of trying the new Easton Injexion arrows. There kind of pricey $180 for carbon and $250 for A/C but I've heard there great arrows. Once my shop gets some in I'll have to check them out.

I've used most on the market . but currently use victory H3 for my alpha burner . They're lighter than most of the same spine so the generate good speed for out west flat shooting . I use cx maxima hunters for my Alphamax 35 they are mid weight and provide good pass- thru shots out to 40 yds on white tails ( I shoot 70 lbs ) aluminum arrows are historically straighter or can be made straighter to .oo1. most carbons are straght to .oo3 which is more than adequate for hunting . you can get straighter carbons but you pay a premium for them and they are usually only in target spines.the main diff between carbon and alum is the weight but also in longevity you can refletch both and you can straighten alum but everytime you straighten one it loses some of its strength and will bend easier the next time .
I pesonally prefer Carbon express arrows and it doesn't hurt that they are made right here in Michigan

Easton Axis N-Fused this past year. The previous years were Easton Axis and Easton FMJ. All in a 400 spine. I use a wrap and 2" AAE Max Hunter Vanes for this past year's arrows. Mostly because of color availability. Have had good luck with Blazers too.

Gold Tips have served me well for more than a decade! This year I hunted with the 7595 Prohunters and they were great. Last year I hunted with the Velocity's, they were surprisingly strong for a light weight arrow.
