I have been playing around with some new arrows, to pass time in the winter here in CT. Too much snow , so I started making inventory and testing new shafts for the D&M. I have posted what I have in the classifieds for new inventory. I hope you like what you see.
And I have a project in the works for some of these arrows out on the market. As most of you know the arrow industry is a big one, and there is a lot to pick from. So I thought I would do a little R&D and beat up some arrows to see how well they really hold up to the punishment of TRAD SHOOTERS.
Today I went outside and shot 8 different arrows at the big rock in my back yard!! YES THIS WAS FUN!!
All 8 arrows lost to the rock, so Rock is up by 8 at this point!
2 that held up the best by staying together was a 390 AC Pro Hunter ( one of my favorite) and a MFX Axis arrow and a Grizzly Stick , sure the point slammed into the shaft spreading the carbon out but they held together. Everything else was shattered or broken off never to be found. I blame this on the wall thickness of the arrows.

What I am getting at is all the arrows out there are going to break at one point or another, we all miss and we all play and try to take that shot to far away on the 3D course for fun, or stumping with our buddies and we dump an arrow into the ground. It’s hard not having fun in this sport. But why spend the money on a gimmick that the arrow manufactures try to sell us. A thick walled arrow tuned right will outlast most out there. I love the Easton Epics or IONs or the new Aftermath for the money I feel they are the best for me!
I am not out to bash anyone or their products ,arrows are like beer and trucks. Some like FORD and Chevy and some like Bud over Bud Light. I will never be that guy that tells anyone what to drink or Drive just don’t do them at the same time.
But if you ask me my opinion I might give it to you. (I LIKE GUINNESS)
I hope this will help people picking out there new arrows for the upcoming hunting and 3D/Target season. This is for everyone on a tight budget like me finding a good arrow that will hold up to TRAD FUN and not having to worry about emptying your wallet on arrows.
AT the end of it all, every arrows is going to break its just how much money do you want to spend on a set!
All arrows were harmed in this post the rock is doing fine and will be recovering in a day or two! Theses arrows were all around the same spine with a 250grain point shot out of my Morrison T/D 55lbs at 30"
