Already shot two whitetails with them this season.
Agreed. I shoot full length 1535 from both my longbows. My 45# is regular insert and 125 point. My 37# uses a 100 grain insert and 125 point. Great when you can use the same arrow

My favorite carbon shaft has been what I'm shooting at the moment.  Originally Gold Tip Blems, then Carbon Express, then Victory VForce HV and now Black Eagle X-Impacts.  I went with the last two when I decided to go to UEFOC.  What ever you decide to shoot make sure they are tuned to the best of your ability and you will love them.

That's why I choose Easton. GT is alright but I prefer to use Easton. I have never had a problem with their arrows and they are made in the USA. Traditional Only or FMJ.

Not a 100% carbon arrow, but I like the FMJ's too. I buy the 50/75gr brass inserts (I glue them in 75gr) and a 125gr tip. Not cheap, but I really like them thru my Kodiak.

I'm not sure what brand is my favorite. I guess it depends on the bow. Currently I am really happy with standard Gold tip trads for my new Kanati Longbow. Standard 5/16 diameter, easy to use, easy accuracy, good GPI, lots of inserts options.
I intend to get some Black Eagle wood grain in standard diameter.
I really liked the quality of the Black Eagle Rampage shafts I was using this summer.
I'm not as impressed with East Axis as everyone else seems to be. I find them inconsistent in grouping.
