Title: what is a good stumpin arrow, wood or carbon
Post by: redeemed on February 07, 2007, 03:48:00 PM: Is there a GOOD carbon arrow that will take the abuse a good stump shootin day will hand out?Where do you go for GOOD prices on arrows?

I use wood now,have 2117's also,they just don't feel like traditional to me.

Post by: NDTerminator on February 07, 2007, 07:29:00 PM: I'm using Carbon Express Terminator Hunters. They've held up to some serious stump shooting abuse, including 4" fence posts and frozen dirt clods. I've broken a grand total of two; one was entirely my fault when I horsed it out of a fence post, the other center punched an unseen rock at 20 yards...

Post by: mcgroundstalker on February 07, 2007, 08:13:00 PM: Got myself some Carbon Express Rebels...Make 1" sleeves from old 2216s...Sleeve the front and back ends and you have an almost indestructable stump shooting arrow...See, carbon is cool cause it's always straight, just weak at the end of the shaft.

Cost is around $48 per doz. cut to length...

Good Luck

Like Mike said ya can foot them with aluminum and help with the tips, but I do not worry about that and break or damage very few. I would say 8-10 to one over wood as far as damaging them. Aluminum forget it. Make sure you always flex a carbon after a miss that hits something hard. Shawn

Post by: Raminshooter on February 08, 2007, 12:30:00 AM: Ramin...the only way to go. I have arrows I have been stumpin with for 7 years now that have broker judos and curled over the edges of steel blunts and they keep on hittin it hard. Best wood shaft out there for me. Nothin takes a squirrel out of a tree like a 700 grain shaft!

Post by: Rico on February 08, 2007, 07:37:00 AM: Usually I am ready to get rid of that old beat, tattered feather, wooden arrow anyhow by the time I turn it into a stumping arrow and if its a questionable shot,I'll pull out an arrow so ugly that I'm ready to throw it away , it usally survives to shoot again. What really hurts are those nice pretty ones I lose on the first shot.
I agree about ramin I got one old shaft now that just won't get lost.

Post by: pjsnell on February 08, 2007, 11:21:00 AM: I second ramin. I tend to lose arrows, not break them. It's hard enough to walk away from the hunt for a lost arrow that cost me less than a buck!
