Which carbons?...

CE heritage.  You get the same look as GT but with added weight.  I have shot both but like the CE better.  Personal pref but I would stick with one of these.

Friend,I recently made up some Victory V Force .300 arrows for a Bear takedown with Rose Oak limbs,same weight,draw length and centershot as yours.They seem way stiffer than the Vapor Pro .300's that I had been using for that bow.I have 424 up front on the Vapor Pros,including,point,inset and footing.28.9 % FOC and 714 grs total.

The Victory arrows needed 458 grs up front.This turned out to not be a bad thing as they are now almost identical in weight to what I am used to shooting but 31% FOC.I have made some hard hits and side slaps with them on hard materials and they seem every bit as tough as Gold Tips and Vapor Pros.

CE 150 heritage

GT Trads (3555)all the way for me, good price, super tough and fly great.
I add 3 Rivers weight tubes and 100 grain brass inserts for about 600 grains of arrow weight.

Get the blemished GT's if possible from one of the sponsors here and save more money.

Beman MFX Classic for me.

Beman bow hunters are a great shaft for not much money. They are very consistant.

GT trad are a decent arrow, stronger than the Beman, but I find them weaker in spine than a comparable 500 spine shaft.  They also have a little bit more range in spine tolerance from what I can see as well as maybe a slight stiff side or seam.  I get some odd stuff with them, but I shoot the blems so maybe that is what you get for half price.  I love the blems, but wouldn’t get this shaft for full price.  I would go Beman for cheap arrows and CE for when I want rally good ones.

CE's are the best quality and strongest.  I love this arrow, but only shoot them when it counts.  I don’t just fling them around when I could lose them.  I do plan to do some stumping with one to see just how durable they are.

Thank you for the constructive feedback regarding the Victory shafts. I plan on setting up a Victory HV 350 and 300 in the next couple of weeks.
