Carbon arrow selection?

[DXH]

Beman? Easton? or Gold tip? so many choices. Looking for experience from those that have used

Although I'm right in the middle of making a batch of Vintage, I've been using Black Eagle Outlaws the last couple years and I'm mightily impressed with the performance. I used to spend twice as much per dozen.

I've had a number of Beman ICS Bowhunters snap on impact. They fly true but needing something more durable I went to GT. Big Jim blems are a good bargain.

I like Easton Axis.  Tough and skinny, the latter aiding in penetration, I think.

I have no experience with beaman, but have extensive experience with Eason Full Metal jackets and GT XT Hunter. The Easton FMJ's are much more consistent in both spine and straightness!!!

I have a new favorite I picked up at the Dallas safari club show this year...should be way tougher than anything out there. Alaska grizzly stick T.D.T.  (Thin diameter taper). Much thicker wall of carbon than and axis and comes with an aluminum footing.  Great looking arrow!

Used to use AD Trad Lites but the last batch I bought were pretty crooked.

Switched to Axis Trads which are straight durable, but most importantly have pretty consistent spine variance. Very happy with these arrows.

You can't go wrong with either choice

Carbon Express Heritage or Gold Tip.

Just tried another shooter's Beman Centershot's over the weekend and my Martin really liked them - have 6 on the way to play with.

Well I guess that consensus pretty well settles it, lol!  I've shot all 3 and was perfectly satisfied...presently on GT blems just for the discount.

I have used GT, Beeman, CE and Axis. For everyday shooting my choice of late is Blems from Big Jim. I also found the cheaper Beemans fragile. The CE are a little heavier and I have yet to break one. For a hunting arrow I use the Axis. Easy to tune, heavier than some others and footed almost un breakable.
Price is the only reason I have not tried the tapered carbons. I am long on Axis shafts right now.
Heavy Hunters are another option, I know they are heavy but have seen them break rocks at the range.

I've shot gold tips, beman mfx classic and centershots, currently shooting carbon express heritage. All are pretty good. Busted a beman centershot after passing through last years deer. These new carbon express seam pretty tough after the last few weeks of stump shooting.

I used to shoot Beman ICS Bowhunters and liked them, but then I switched to Big Jim's GT blems and there's no going way. Way better quality, and you get get them customized for less money than the Bemans.

CE Heritage for me....

I have a bunch of Beman MFX/Nightfalls, same as Easton Axis, that I will be using for a long time.

Pretty much totally switched to wood lately.  Douglas Fir and Sitka Spruce, but before that I was very satisfied with Carbon Express Heritage and FMJ.  Both very durable, and I think a little heavier than some other carbon.

I  have actually only had one arrow shatter at the release.  That was an old POC arrow.  It was damaged on a previous shot, but I was in a hurry and didn't check it.  I had heard a little "click" when it hit the bag target.  Totally my fault.

I like the Easton Axis they are tuff as nails I have some that are over 3 years old.

The Beman Centershot"s fly well but I prefer the Gold Tip Traditionals for durability.
