help in Arrows?
« on: March 13, 2011, 05:53:00 PM »
Hello,
I have recently acquired a Bama hunter 27@55#
Nate suggested 3555 Gold tip traditional.
Has anyone had success running with carbons or could I go with pine/cedar arrows and just build them instead?    :confused:  

Sorry if it's a stupid question but the Carbons are so much more expensive $$$..

It's a personal preference thing.  I shoot carbons out of my Bama and they work very well.  They are pricey but they are pretty durable as well.  Nate is right a GT 3555 should be tunable out of your bow if you are drawing the 27".  You can also find a wood or aluminum that would tune so it is all a matter of what you want to shoot.  Good luck...Shawn

Welcome to Tradgang!
 If you're just startin' out, I think you'll find the carbons easier to work with (tuning wise) to get your arrows to "hit where you're lookin'".

Good cedar shafts are pretty pricey these days, too.
 I have always been a wood lover, but, I have switched to carbon because I love how easy and simple they are to build, tune, and shoot.

Carbons are very durable and pretty easy to tune.

Thanks you all for the help, I think I will get the 3555 carbons and work with those.

Thanks again!

You might do well to order some different weight screw-in field points when you get your arrows and perhaps some 50 or 100grain brass screw-inserts, too, then you'll have plenty of options for varying tip weight to get them to fly well for you.  Post back if you need add'l help or details.
