Affordable quality black shafts
« on: January 30, 2016, 08:40:00 PM »
Like the title says, I'm looking for some reasonably priced and durable black shafts.  I have some GT trad blems but I like the black shafts for both looks but also functionality (I can find them much easier in our winter grass here in TX).

Beeman ICS bow hunters are good, reasonable black shafts.  I've got the .340 quite a bit and I like them.

Black Eagle "Outlaw" from Simply Traditional is all I shoot on three of my bows. Black, cheap, and great quality.

Thanks guys.  Those of you suggesting the Easton Aftermath, have you also shot the Beeman Bowhunters and how would you compare the two?

Yes, I shot the Beman Bowhunters for many years. Very nice shaft, however, I feel the Aftermath is more durable.
With the bowhunters, my shaft broke on every deer I shot, (dozen plus deer). I used the Aftermath this season, killed three deer, never broke an arrow.

Also, my A&H longbow, just seems to like the Aftermath shafts better.

Affordable and Quality are relative terms.....the longer they last the more quality and affordable they are...   :campfire:  

I've been shooting Arrow Dynamic Trad for 15 years exclusively for a reason.  Affordable Quality.

I have a stash of the now discontinued Beman Porkchops,which are identical to Easton Aftermath arrows. Like the others said,they are very durable. I managed to bend a steel broadhead adapter without damaging the shaft.

Cabelas Hunter shafts.  Same thing as a Beman and about $60 a dozen.

I have the Carbon Express Predator 2 shafts. You can get them from Big Jim. Great shafts and the price is right.
