Without a doubt, the best arrows I have ever had:

 


Got these form Rob D. on a St. Jude's  around 2011 or 2012.  They had a weighted front end and the finish was impeccable.  That said, the mojo and critters I took with the dozen arrows (The three remaining are my go to arrows this fall in Alaska moose) still boggles my mind; Every one of them have accounted for at least one dead critter, several of them two or more.  When the auction ended I questioned my sanity and wondered how anybody would ever pay that much for a dozen arrows.  In retrospect, it was the bargain of a lifetime, today I would spend twice that bid cost for another dozen of Rob D's. custom arrows.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

No they broke right at the fletching.

That's exactly why I bye my arrows from Ron French (TreeKiller).  Couldn't have said it any better    :wavey:

Well, I managed to get the link pasted, but I haven't figured out how to put the picture directly on the post. It's been a while...

Hi Tracy,

Hope life has been treating you well.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
