Easton Axis with 2" of 1916 for a footing. Hard to break them and they fly great.

I've shot the Carbon Express and liked them.  Thought I'd like the Beman MFX but had a lot of arrow breakage that seemed to be from arrow slap.  It was odd.  Recently started shooting GrizzlyStik Alaskans and I really like the way they fly.  So far they've been quite strong too.  But then again, while stump shooting one of mine took a direct hit from the side from a Judo about mid-fletch.  That one's toast!  Ha!  todd

Beman MFX Classic's in 500 spine for the most part.

I just got some Easton Axis Realtree (basically the same arrow) in 400 spine and I'm going to shoot 100 gr brass adaptor.

I've also shot the Beman MFX Black Max and they are also great, they're the same as the Classic's without the wood grain layer.

For those that know me, I'm a timber shaft kina fella. But, I've just moved onto Grizzly Stiks for a test run and love 'em so far.

And I did not care for the AD at all, sorry to say.

Hey guys I met someone at the bunny shoot that gets carbons as seconds. Can't remember the name. They just have blemishes in the print.  Anyone know where to get these?

Beman MFX or Axis. I wonder how the new nano tube Axis shafts are in terms of durability....but, I have so many of the Bemans I may never need to buy new ones.

Which ever ones are on sale  :bigsmyl:   I have shot a number of different ones(Beman ICS, ICS Bowhunters, CX Heritage, Axis, mfx, Goldtips) and have found that all of them fly true and hold up well to impacts. All of them will last a long time as long as you don't shoot them into rocks or cinder blocks. None of them hold up well if you do.

I really like the Beman ICS Bowhunters because of their cost. I have not tried the AD's or the Grizzlysticks because as you might have guessed, I am way too cheap.

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.

I favor the AD's.  I shot the grizzlys and liked them, but I have found the AD's to hold up a little better. That being said, I still shoot both because I have both.
